Disciplines: Sculpture

Location: Dumfries

Materials: Glass
I am a Glass Artist that works in an improvisational manner. Setting parameters for each piece laying boundaries of use of colour, depth & texture. Experimenting with glass and metal content to develop different reactions. Using various molds to create sculptural vessels with organic and fractured forms. I am fortunate to live on the Scottish Solway Coast where the light and weather are constantly changing, surrounded by wonderful flora & fauna this is the fundamental inspiration for my work. The beauty of our planet is constantly threatened & subsequently very fragile and I intend that my work should convey this fragility and its heroic survival.
