Costal Specimens
This series of lampworked glass sculptures explores the fragile biodiversity of the edge-world between land and sea.
Each piece is shaped by hand using the traditional technique of lampworking; melting glass in a flame and cooling it slowly overnight in a kiln. The resulting forms echo the organic tangle of seaweed drifting through tidal pools.
Colony (i)
Part of an ongoing body of work, this piece of foraged sandstone is marked by the traces of marine worms, subtly altered with earth pigments and wax, then adorned with lampworked glass. It suggests a slow accretion, a colony taking hold, blurring the boundary between natural formation and human touch.
Fascinariums
These three Fascinariums each hold a foraged sandstone, sheltering strands of lampworked glass beneath a hand-blown dome. They invite patient attention and quiet reflection, evoking the strange beauty of the edge-world where land and sea meet.
Tidal Study
Part of an ongoing body of work, these three pieces explore the fragile biodiversity of the intertidal zone, where sea and shore meet. Each form is shaped in the flame and cooled overnight in the kiln, the lampworked glass recalling the organic tangle of seaweed adrift in tidal pools, echoing both fragility and resilience.
