“Coming from a background of printed textiles, and the two
dimensional, my interests have been about achieving depth through
texture. This is referenced in my new work, pursuing how line and
texture can become the form, and how the choice of which can very much
alter the message and context of the vessel.
I mirror the soft organic lines created when molten colour bleeds into
the other, with a biomorphic form. These moody, soft ethereal colour
bleeds are reminiscent of dip dyed fabrics. This enhances both the
qualities of the glass medium, and the free tonal movement of colour
inciting moods and memories.”
