About
I am a glass artist who often combines and incorporates metal into my work to explore the surface texture and material contrasts of the materials. Most of my pieces are intended to be unconventionally alluring, whether its its creating a textured finish on the glass or balancing the pieces precariously. To show that glass doesn't need to be stereotypically ‘pretty’ to be eye-catching and beauty can be found in the combination of texture and mundane forms.Details
This collection draws on Arthurian legend and highlights escapism through myth and legend. These functional drinking vessels are a modern interpretation of drinking horns, with their organic shapes being symbolic of ancient mythical creatures. The crafted forms sculpt to the user's hand, and the use of colours is reminiscent of the stained glass windows of medieval times.
