Through varoius observations of nature, a lot of imagination and creativity, magical works are created.

Becca has been exploring how patterns in the textiles by contemporary weavers can be recreated in glass, as well as patterns from science, maths and nature such as electrophoresis and Penrose tiling. Much of Becca’s work uses a strip-cut technique to create intricate patterns.
My most recent projects have included making a sculpture to be installed in a newly planned wildlife garden surrounded by a seating area and solar lighting for enjoying with friends and family.
Since 5 years I started at the Collective Workshop in Gothenburg to cast glass in plaster molds. These experiments led to a smaller exhibition in Växjö, Sweden. The exhibition is exposed between 1st to 15th February 2025.
I oscillate between glass flameworking & pâte-de-verre glass fusing techniques and combining them using various mold making and hot assemblage processes to create ornaments, sculpture and jewellery.
Both processes are labour intensive and have allowed me to develop a very tactile and sensory relationship with the glass, as I hold and manipulate it directly. By honoring traditional & pushing conventions. My hope is to present glass as something versatile & resilient.
I recently undertook a commission to engrave the image of the church where a couple were married
Experimentation and innovation are essential to my creative glass practice and regularly influence my style of expression. My conceptual approach to stained glass is based on philosophical views of awareness, our soulful and intellectual responsibilities to nature and one another. Each painting generally focuses on one subject, emotion or state of consciousness, and together, act as an elaborate reflection of our multifaceted whole!
