The current format of my personal practice is massively rewarding, as I am progressively enhancing the scale and complexity of each completed glasswork in combination with materials commonly found in industrial settings. I draw inspiration from graffiti culture, urban decay, brutalist architecture, and industrial design. I am particularly interested in the contrast between rigid, repetitive structures and the unpredictable patterns of decay. Utilising my broad skill set, I have begun fabricating systems that facilitate the transition from static glassworks to automated installations to be exhibited exclusively within gallery settings. My knowledge of glass, together with bonding and coldworking techniques, enables me to construct layered sculptures that explore depth and structure. These approaches are central to the approach to my latest body of work. Please get in touch regarding my availability to exhibit my work, opportunities for commissioned work or collaborative projects.
