My intention is to harness its movement and transience of ice, within the fluid yet permanent nature of glass. The ice is eroded and sculpted with salt then cast into glass, capturing a moment in time as the ice is melting. This thawing of ice provides a physical time frame to work within, heightening the importance of artistic judgment and decision-making.  

Inspired by architectural materials and tools, the forms contradict the fluid irregular surface with the strength and stature they evoke. 

The simplicities of placing one thing on another, creating a sense of balance and again impermanence provides a key role in my work. The placing of the salt on the ice, the glass on the ceramic block or the blocks of ice together.

I have a fascination with turning one thing into another and the reaction of materials and energies acting upon each other. This direct approach provides an energetic spontaneous working method and creative mindset. This energy lives on within the work, giving a sense of progression and evolution within a solid permanent form.  

I believe my work has gained a sense of identity and consistency recently, providing a firm footing for future continued developments. I feel future of my practice is concerned with working with materials in unique ways, evolving and reworking traditional creative techniques and combining them with the possibilities of glass
