in my practice i work with found elements, natural and man-made materials and collected objects whose form and meaning is extended through re-contextualisation, manipulation, displacement or transformation. like an alchemist, my practice and enquiry experiments with the transmutation of common element.
....
over the last five years i have specialised in the use of glass, mirror glass and lenses investigating their inherent physical qualities, ambiguities and sybolism of body and soul. i explore their transparent, translucent, distortive, reflective and magnifying properties and how the transmutation of the material can create new perceptions of experience. i take a scientific approach to reseach the behaviour of the materials, adding the residue of everyday substances to transform them during the glass making process.
