Oceans
The Oceans collection, is comprised of 3 different series of work; Beyond Words, Seagrass and Waves.
Each series is based on my response to climate change. They have been developed over the last year with all work made using repurposed and re-melted waste glass.
Sustainability is very important to me, so I have been working with my partner over the last 3 years to create a carbon friendly, sustainable, art practice.
Checkout what we've been doing in my blog.
Creatures
My fascination with sea creatures has led me to explore and develop new work based on Ascidians and Limpets. All made using repurposed or re-melted waste glass and other waste materials such as stone and copper.
They are keeping company with my with Porifera and Most Charming Creatures collections. All are inspired by the amazing world of strange, wonderful marine creatures and our fundamental interconnectedness.
New Projects

It's been an amazing year so far with a fantastic diversity of new projects, exciting commissions and my first outdoor sculptures.
From the creation of ceremonial water vessels for the Rivers Wye, Bristol Avon and the Stour in Kent, to receiving a bursary from Fresh Air Sculpture, to develop, make and exhibit my first outdoor/garden sculptures this year. It's been quite a year.
Sculpture at Doddington and Upton Castle Gardens have also provided brilliant opportunities to further develop my sculptural work.
All of this has been made even better as the work has all been made sustainably using repurposed materials and re-melted waste glass.
