Glass, Light and Space are all major influence in my life and professional practice. To create relationships between Glass and the environment offer up many challenges. To pursue these aims I approach the experience of glass in many ways. Initially as a maker designer I try to introduce the diversity of glass to an un-expecting audience. Whether it is by Architectural pieces, Installations or community interactions, I try to create a dialogue between the material and its location.
Recent involvements have been as an Artist-in-residence at a local Secondary School to more recently as a member of the Steering committee for the International Festival of Glass to be held in August 2008.
In addition I am developing a personal body of work expressing the ambiguity of Nature and Modern day living, which illustrates my awareness and interest in Glass Manufacturing and sustainability.
This is resulting in a collection of large scale forms combining Iconic glass Multiplies into Geometric structures that are sourced from Nature. With forms that relate to Spores, Honey-combs and Microscopic structures, the Glass pieces are to be seen in varying combinations relating specifically to its site specific location.
