Contemporary Glass Scupture/Fine Art
Artists Statement
In “Through the Looking Glass” by Lewis Carroll, Alice finds that her imaginative musings about the Looking-glass House do more than fill a dull afternoon; they open up a portal to another world. Her adventures start with the familiarity of her drawing room, but lead her through the looking-glass into a world where anything could happen and frequently did.
Drawing on Alice’s example, I use kiln formed glass and mixed media to create sculptural meditations that explore the tension between the things that define and shape us as people, and our need to escape from these things.
My work always begins with that which is familiar - the everyday things that make up the fabric of our existence - but I look for ways that the imagination can transform what we think we already know into something new and different. I believe that it is in the spaces where imagination and reality meet that the seeds of change are sown, and new ways of thinking and being are opened up.
