I draw inspiration from ephemeral objects of a temporal nature which explores the relationship between natural forms and the overarching mathematical phenomena that relate to them. Working with organic materials whose proportions are governed by the Golden Ratio, I explore the manner in which glass can emphasise the hidden beauty of overlooked artefacts.
I am 3rd year student in my final year studying for my Ba in Glass. I have been recently experimenting with Pate de Verre techniques. My 2nd year work involved a series of work related to discarded items such as sticks and apples. In 2014 I entered the warm glass uk competition.
