Artist StatementMy work is inspired by forms and textures found in nature. More recently I have been exploring architectural materials which have been worked by craftsman's hands in the past, but which are eroding, weathering and returning to nature. These are reborn as new works in glass. My work is represented in 39 museum collections worldwide. | |||||||||||
