I am fascinated by the transparency of glass and the possibility to capture or ‘freeze’ within it three dimensional images inspired by Australian environment, especially the bright colours - the red of the sunset, the blue of the sky and of the ocean.

To make each of these objects I cut thousands of glass elements from transparent glass sheets, according to a complicated three dimensional plan. These are then fused together in stages.
