Gaze is a kaleidoscope of glass visions that draws on traces of thought & segments of information- a photo album of inspirations. These glass landscapes are obtained by means of travel; a trip of stories, works, sensitivities, concepts, positions & contradictions.
Personal photography attained through travels through Northern Europe and recent trips through the Snowy Mountains are translated and explored in glass. Both the flattened forms of the bottles and open surfaces of the bowls allow me to investigate and narrate these images as 3-dimensional glass canvases creating artwork that is both pictorial and sculptural. The inherent qualities of glass allow me to translate light and direct our gaze to the abstract details that surround us in nature, creating work that is a culmination of the real and imagined landscapes achieved through modern digital technology with a centuries old tradition of glass blowing.
As a landscape offers a limitless view, it is a profound ability of our gaze that is linked to light to explore these landscapes and find inspiration.
