Artist Statement:
My work incorporates the use
of various media including
glass, wire and bronze. The
work is diverse enough to
create interest, yet is
unified by weaving techniques
and its concepts. Although my
work is sculptural the
majority of my glasswork is
wall mounted thus utilising
gallery wall space. I have
also begun exploring the
properties of light, through
the means of light boxes, and
how it interacts with my glass
pieces intensifying their
colour and texture. Most of my
inspiration comes from the
natural world in the form of
found objects such as shells,
stones, twigs etc and the
effects of the natural
elements on both organic and
man-made matter. The textures
and aesthetics caused by age
and weathering are of constant
fascination to me.This
combined with the time
honoured tradition of weaving
and basketry is pivotal to my
work. Over the past few years
I have begun to encase these
weavings in fused glass. Some
of which have become extremely
fragile in appearance,
conveying a sense of
fragmented cloth preserved in
time. Others are influenced by
fossilised remains, which
provide us with evidence of
ancient forms etched in stone
or caught in amber. My
glasswork seeks to ...
