News
I'm currently collaborating with glass blower Elliot Walker to make large window-hung stained glass
installations for my solo exhibition in January 2026, which will also incorporate 3D sound, live performance
and moving image.
Derek Hunt of BBC interviewed me for his podcast. See my 'Watch' page.
I have a 5 page feature in the Stained Glass Association of America quarterly magazine.
You can hear my interview for renowned 'Talking out your Glass' podcast, featuring top international glass
artists. https://talkingoutyourglass.com/pinkie-maclure/.
'Beauty Tricks' has been acquired by the Stained Glass Museum, Ely, for the UK's national collection and is
now on permanent display in Ely Cathedral.
My solo show 'Lost Congregation' at CCA Glasgow closed after an extended 3 month run.
For this exhibition, I made an immersive installation, with 3 rooms of stained glass,
a 3D ambisonic sound installation, moving images and four 20-minute live performances.
