The work I make in glass endeavours to tap into our more uncomfortable emotions - pain, anxiety, grief, desperation, fear. This is meant not to alienate but to resonate; these emotions, that we often work so hard to hide, are at the centre of what makes us human beings, and my goal for anything I make is to create a bridge between the person and the object. A safe space, for a moment, to go where we don’t normally want to send ourselves. Or to let the piece go there for you.
My background has a lot of parts that have come together over the course of my life as a maker of things. I started in still photography, then went on to make films, then multimedia theatre, and then glass, all while working as a graphic designer as a means of supporting myself. The combination led me to use all of my tools from all of the things I’ve done: I put images that tell theatrical stories onto glass - always either photographs I’ve taken or graphics I’ve created myself.
