I combine my interest in life drawing with a fascination with glass and use my drawings as the basis for panels. Wire becomes the line and glass powders create the shading. The variable reactions of the wire create its own dynamic.
Over the last 2 decades I have explored many ways of working with glass using different imagery.
The glass ‘Rocky sculptures’ explore the beauty of stone bridges, harbour walls, dry stone walling and rocky outcrops; the blocks of colour echoing the landscape, sea and sky.
My series of sculptures ‘A dialogue at the threshold’ focus on the opening between the interior of a space and the outer form which surrounds it.
In addition I make beautiful cast bowls, using fabric to create highly textured one off pieces highlighted with 23.5ct gold or gold lustre.
It is wonderful to work with a medium which is in every way a match for one’s imagination!
