About The Artwork

The Superposition series is a selection of free-standing glass sculptures exploring the nature of fused glass when each individual layer is placed upon another. These translucent, almost unreal sculptures look like they should be as light as a feather or as sweet as sugar. The interaction with light in both the inner and outer surface is delicately beautiful, at times reflecting the colours around the piece to channelling the light through the centre. The Superposition series has been evolving since 2021. The initial inspiration came from a desire to combine my sculpture training with my glass knowledge, explore colour using the qualities of glass and interpret the term ‘rough around the edges’.   I chose the word superposition, which means ‘the action of placing one thing on or above another, especially so that they coincide’, after a song title of the same name. The lyrics discuss the many possible outcomes that can exist, but when things fall into place as superposition it coincides. Each piece of glass for each individual layer falls into place, then is fired in my kiln to create one layer of glass and each glass layer is placed on top of another, eventually creating freestanding and balancing sculptures. I have also chosen to use geometric shapes, from circles to hexagons, as these shapes reoccur throughout the natural world.   As the series has evolved, I have been incorporating colour. The Superposition series became the perfect vehicle for exploring colour mixing in a three-dimensional format. I used my knowledge of colour theory and art history to create colour combinations that look like a detailed view of pointillist painting or a pixilated image.

My work brings together fine art and craft through works on paper, inimitable glass sculptures, ephemeral installations and multi-exposure photography, which are sustainably and ethically produced in my London studio. Today my collections are known for their rich colour palette, dynamic lines that intertwist into one another and works that are in constant visual flux. My love of art and creating began at an early age. I grew up in a vibrant community of artists on Lamma Island and would spend my weekends exploring the island where I developed a close connection to nature. Living on Lamma Island also allowed me to fully explore my own imagination, which came across in the stories I would tell and works I would create. The joy of story telling has developed through into the artwork I make, with each artwork series/project acting like a stories narrative with a beginning, middle and end. In 2012 I took a once in a life time trip where I travelled on my own to Hong Kong, Bali, Singapore and Thailand. During this time I created a series of watercolour works on paper that explored colour washes and the strength of the line. Upon returning to the UK I applied to the Ceramics and Glass course at The Royal College of Art. During the masters course I developed a technique of translating my two-dimensional works on paper into three-dimensional glass sculptures known as the Relief Glass Drawing technique. This labour intensive, hands on process allowed me to experiment with surface textures by carving into plaster batts and combining different glass colours for a vivid outcome that responds to the natural light by creating shadows that dance on the walls or shift their tone depending on the type of light they sit in. Since 2020 I have been devaluing into colour explorations and colour mixing through the Glass Ishihara series and the colourful layers of the box framed Constructure series. Recently I have been combining sculpture with glass through the Superposition series and the delicate Palmately Netted Vein series. My collections have grown organically through my studies and two residencies, one at Konstfack, Stockholm, Sweden and the other at Edinburgh College of Art, Scotland. I now design and create in my London based studio. I sell globally to a dedicated clientele spanning the UK, Scandinavia and USA. Each artwork now sits in loving homes or in commercial settings.
