I am an emerging glass artist based in the East Neuk of Fife. I am drawn to islands and other peripheral landscapes where geological processes and human histories converge. These places bear the lasting marks of erosion, extraction, resilience and regeneration, revealing the complex relationship between deep time, human intervention and ecological change. Glass functions as both material and metaphor within my practice. Its translucency, delicacy and capacity for transformation provide a way to explore landscapes shaped by environmental and temporal forces. I am particularly interested in exploring the concept of fragility inherent in both the medium of glass itself and the wider Scottish landscape. All my works are meticulously crafted by hand, using glass to produce organic pieces that probe the divide between contemporary art and more traditional craft practices. Through this process, I seek to connect material, place and history, creating work that reflects the changing landscapes that inform my practice.
