My work is influenced by the formation of the natural landscape by geological processes and changes from human interaction. Glaciation and coastal erosion are of particular interest and I use the qualities of the glass to represent features in the landscape and maritime environment.

The main concept of my work is to juxtapose nature with the man-made; to represent their connection and confrontation. From my observations, reflections and imaginings of the natural environment, I attempt to capture elements and qualities of the aesthetics of nature in her work. I create a narrative to evoke something significant from natures’ transformation, transience and fragility, to recall something significant from these elements through the documenting of natures changes.
I make small stained glass panels to hang in front of windows which are for sale at galleries throughout the country, take commissions for windows, light boxes etcetera and have recently started making free standing objects by arranging several panels in front of one another.
Colour has been the main feature of his glass, with added trails and shards; a fusion of blown glass inspired by nature, the built environment and abstract art. In 2015 he was selected for inclusion in the ‘Ripples’ exhibition at the Pyramid Gallery in York.
Currently a student at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Art, I am enjoying exploring the unlimited possibilities of glass as an artistic medium. Much of my work in involves blown forms being altered or reworked through kiln casting and fusing processes. It is my hope that through this combination of techniques I can allow the glass to speak as a material.
My projects for 2023 include organising a sculpture trail at Sussex Prairie Garden in West Sussex and exhibition venues with Surrey Sculpture Society. In 2022 I curated a Glass Garden at The RHS Chelsea Flower Show in London to celebrate International Year of Glass #IYOG.
