I try to make the most complete aesthetic statement possible by the simplest means I can think of. I strive to create pieces of the utmost of aesthetic complexity and flexibility while utilising a minimum of colour and decoration.
My physical surroundings often provide the inspiration for my work. My String and Cocoon vessels have evolved from the delicate patterns on sandbars caused by receded water, or lines drawn into fresh snow by leafless windblown shrubs. The effect achieved by the layered constructions of cocoons and wasp nests exerts a fascination that is reflected in the delicately carved lines on inner surfaces of my vessels which leave a trail of shadow and light.
All of my work is made to your colour and size specification. I personally make and sign each piece of glass, which I blow and shape free-hand.
