Biography
At the core of my work is a desire to record tension, gravity and energy flow through strong line and distinct form. Conceptually I draw on man’s conflicting relationship with nature and merge these ideas with the qualities and limits of the material. In recent work I have looked at the complexity of organic form and man’s tendency to control growth. Glass allows me to work with reflection, transparency and light in expressing the energy present in natural and constructed form. Often I leave an aspect of the work to ‘finish itself’ in the kiln thus retaining a sense of spontaneity.
