The sculptural form of my work is the result of observing the natural forces
that shape our environment. Gravity, wind, pressure and energy flow are
invisible forces that can be revealed and exalted through sculpture. Glass
is an ideal material to record these phenomena, as it is extremely elastic
at high temperatures and can be magically frozen in mid-process at a high
point of tension. However, I am inspired by a variety of materials that
offer unique tactile qualities such as porcelain, concrete, steel and
plastic.
Though my work doesn’t directly aim to imitate nature, it seeks to reinforce
our connection with it. My aim is to create work that becomes part of the
environment in which it is placed. The work begins to merge or complement
its surroundings through the use of mirroring, enameling or sandblasting.
The outdoor sculptures are durable and carefully supported by steel and
concrete and range in price from £100 to £800.
After working for many years as a graphic designer both in California (my birthplace) and the UK, I went on to obtain a first class degree in 3-Dimensional Design in Glass from UCA in Farnham in 2005. Aside from the work I produce for exhibitions, I am interested in public and private commissions where I can respond to an individual setting, be it foliage or an architectural space.
