THE MALTMAN, GLASGOW
T he design for this installation incorporated modern swept framed mirrors, black and white images of Glasgow landmarks with a contemporary twist and Glasgow’s City Crest (the bird that never flew, the tree that never grew, the bell that never rang and the fish that never swam).
A mix of contemporary and traditional frames were selected and all artwork was installed using concealed security fittings.
