The creative tensions which inevitably exist between technique and inspiration are my main drive in any new work. Technique and ideas fundamentally depend upon one another and the problem solving that takes place in realizing a project involves repeated trips from drawing board to the workshop and back.
The investigation in to the technical method with which new pieces will be made will seem chaotic at first as all new attempts but this research into material properties provides me with invaluable new skills. The time prior to making is used to visualise how an idea becomes reality, to carefully plan step by step how the practical side of the making will flow.
New ideas stems from a constant curiosity and urge to try new ways of expression. The pieces are when created the realisation of a vague image of seen beauty assembled as a carefully made jigsaw.

In my work I want to be loyal to the primary in the material, for the glass to appear for what it is, runny like water and shiny and brittle as ice.
Its going back to the fact that glass is a super cooled liquid and the resemblance to water and ice is therefore natural.
