Everything I make in glass has a very personal meaning to me, each design drawing on my love of a piece of literature, a play, a film, a place, a person that has moved me in some way in my life, the feelings these inspire in me which I want to commemorate.
The incongruity of taking the medium of stained glass- which for many people has a very traditional religious image- and using it as a way to express the personal or the political is what fascinates me.
Each piece I make is unique, each part of the process accomplished by hand, using methods and tools that have hardly changed for centuries. My work combines contemporary techniques with traditional painting medium, a feeling of fluidity and movement with the traditional tenets of solid construction and meticulous design.
