Desire #1
Kiln formed glass
48 H x 100 W x 5 D cm
In this new series of work I
combine photography, digital
manipulation, screenprinting
and kiln forming techniques to
create glass works which seek to engage the viewer in a suggestive visual narrative. Images of nature contrasted against dream-like urban-scapes explore a sense of yearning for place and meaning, inherent in the experience of modern societies.
