I am constantly fascinated, cannot help but probe, the boundaries that define each of us as a unique person. The boundaries that others construct for us whether social, cultural or physical are so often implicit rather than explicit. I try to use glass as a means of revealing, exploring, hopefully deconstructing those implicit boundaries.

As an applied artist I am constantly trying to make glass do things in the kiln that any properly trained glass artist knows can’t or shouldn’t be done. In my more optimistic moments I call this pushing the boundaries of kiln forming techniques. Mostly I swear a lot and wish that I had stuck to textiles or jewellery.
