Blown, cast and flame worked glass
45cm x 23cm

Ancient cultures, artefacts and diverse spiritual traditions underlie our present day activities. How can wildness inform the seemingly tamed urban? What pervades and survives the passage of time and how do we experience it?

The elements brought together in a particular piece of work are an attempt to synthesize and resolve personal preoccupations with these questions. I enjoy the process of making glass from hot to cold, effecting the process of transformation and encoding the passage of time.
