Eva’s glasswork is designed to interact with natural light to bring patterns of colour to interiors, and is informed by the Japanese concept of MA – the importance of the spaces around and between things. Eva says “I first became aware of the concept of MA when reading about garden design. It resonated with me immediately as I realised that I had been unconsciously using it in my glasswork. The backgrounds and clear areas of my designs are as important to me as their subjects, and I strive to create a harmonious and balanced relationship between the two.” Eva’s jewellery is created from specialised dichroic glass which has the unique property of reflecting one colour while transmitting another. The different colours can be observed by viewing from different angles. Eva finishes all her jewellery pieces with high quality silver or silver plated fittings.

Often using unique surfaces, such as hand-made paper and wood, Sharon employs various techniques to convey strong visual and conceptual themes, which display a keen sense of aesthetics; focussing mainly on politics, nature and the environment.
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.
