Member’s Spotlight

I specialise in kiln-formed glass, using both fusing and slumping techniques to create vessels and objects that enrich homes and spaces whilst inviting the viewer to think about the world differently. The starting point of my work is words: fragments of text that I write about themes and issues that are important to me. I transliterate the words into a fusion of Urdu and English, which reflects my bi-racial heritage, and further abstract them by playing with scale, rotation and order. The resultant forms create pieces which cannot be read but which speaker to the viewer on a conceptual level.
