I design and make glass art from concept to installation giving it a personal and handmade character. I work with warm glass processes including fusing and slumping using ‘Bullseye’ glass for its vibrant colour and superior quality.
My black and white photography of modern architecture often initiates research and my studio practice has developed by utilising these images. My interest in architecture and satellite imagery of the Earth influences patterns, forms and textures within my designs. I am also inspired by the works of modern painters such as Mondrian and Rothko for their use of bold and vivid colours. The abstract nature of my art is a fusion of all these factors.
The relationship between glass, light and space is a key element to my work. Experimentation in creating more depth into my glass art has been unpredictable at times. I have explored those unexpected outcomes by pushing the glass to its limits to produce unusual effects. With the deliberate use of inclusions, rippled glass and aggressive firing schedules I have incorporated bubbles and textures in my work. The complexity of these processes can be a challenge to control at times but the unique results are often rewarding. My work is an expression of the manipulation of a seductive material.
