Artist Statement:
My interest lies in the
multi-layering of imagery and
objects within the glass form
offering multiple viewpoints
and interpretations. The
imagery comes from my abiding
interest in water/land meeting
places and their use as a
visual metaphor for aspects of
the human condition.
Glass has offered me a method
of transposing images from my
inner world and providing a
place for them to inhabit.The
places I find in my drawings I
bring into glass, resulting in
spaces, fluid, dense and
constructed - in multiple
layers and numerous firings.
They offer a view into an
inner world of constructed and
deconstructed elements. I
assemble these elements which
become suspended in a
boundaried space, where the
interplay of depth, light and
colour create a three
dimensional window. The glass
object becomes a lens for
viewing what is on the other
side as well as within the
work.
