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 nature of making hot glass; blown, sculpted or sand cast is fundamentally connected to the speed of the making and therefore the time invested in preparation for each piece in order to succeed.
Some pieces are already planned out to the last detail in the surface and others will evolve in the making – made by the rhythm and flow in working with hot glass, work that is driven by skill, intuition and instinct.

These 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.

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.
