The three sections represent Man, Woman and Child as Past, Present and Future. Man, the Past, is attempting to free himself, but his feet are caught in the Web of Time. Woman, the Present, is shown as a shell within a shell, as flawed Venus (the classical goddess of love) and flawless Virgin. The future is the Bird Child, a symbol of the young soul, bearing the burden of the untouched future. Kinnaird uses her very personal interests in family, the natural world and Celtic and classical imagery in this complex work.","physicalDescription":"A triptych, three panels of optical glass, wheel-engraved, set on three velvet lined wooden stands. Each of the three sections has an engraved figure, representing Man as the Past, Woman as the Present and Child as the Future. The glass was probably manufactured by Schott, and then cut by Kreg Kallenberger in the USA to the specifications of the designer Alison Kinnaird.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Kinnaird, Alison","id":"A738"},"association":{"text":"designer","id":"x36960"},"note":"and engraver"},{"name":{"text":"Kreg Kallenberger","id":"A968"},"association":{"text":"cut by","id":"x28689"},"note":"to the specifications of A.K."}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[{"name":{"text":"Schott","id":"AUTH327273"},"association":{"text":"maker","id":"x40240"},"note":"Probably made glass"}],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"optical glass","id":"AAT10877"},{"text":"wood","id":"AAT11914"},{"text":"velvet","id":"AAT133711"}],"techniques":[{"text":"cut","id":"x35680"},{"text":"wheel-engraved","id":"AAT53831"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Engraved optical glass, wood and velvet, industrially made glass, machine cut, wheel engraved","categories":[{"text":"Glass","id":"THES48946"},{"text":"Scotland","id":"THES262877"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"CER","id":"THES48594"},"images":["2006AT4008"],"imageResolution":"low","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"131","id":"THES49882"},"free":"","case":"84","shelf":"4","box":""},{"current":{"text":"131","id":"THES49882"},"free":"","case":"84","shelf":"4","box":""},{"current":{"text":"131","id":"THES49882"},"free":"","case":"84","shelf":"4","box":""},{"current":{"text":"131","id":"THES49882"},"free":"","case":"84","shelf":"4","box":""},{"current":{"text":"131","id":"THES49882"},"free":"","case":"84","shelf":"4","box":""},{"current":{"text":"131","id":"THES49882"},"free":"","case":"84","shelf":"4","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"Block (part of triptych)","id":""}],[{"text":"Stand (for part of triptych)","id":""}],[{"text":"Block (part of triptych)","id":""}],[{"text":"Stand (for part of triptych)","id":""}],[{"text":"Block (part of triptych)","id":""}],[{"text":"Stand (for part of triptych)","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""},{"apprise":"","note":""},{"apprise":"","note":""},{"apprise":"","note":""},{"apprise":"","note":""},{"apprise":"","note":""},{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"Temple (Midlothian)","id":"x34783"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"1992","earliest":"1992-01-01","latest":"1992-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"Purchased with Art Fund support","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Height","value":"25","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""},{"dimension":"Width","value":"36","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""},{"dimension":"Depth","value":"4.5","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"","marksAndInscriptions":[],"objectHistory":"Shown in the exhibition \"Contemporary British Glass\", Crafts COuncil, London and at other venues, 1993-4.
