Oceans
​
The Oceans collection, comprised of Beyond Words, Seagrass and Waves 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
This year has brought some new creatures in the form of Ascidians and Limpets. All made using repurposed or re-melted waste glass and other waste materials.
​
They are keeping company with my with Porifera and Most Charming Creatures collections. All are inspired by the amazing world of strange, wonderful creatures and our fundamental interconnectedness.
New Projects

It's been an amazing year so far with a nice diversity of new projects, from exciting commissions to 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.
​
Sculpture at Doddington and Upton Castle Gardens have also provided wonderful 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.​​​
