ARTIST’S BACKGROUND

A marine system design engineer having previously attended stained glass courses for eight years before changing to fusing, slumping and casting glass courses.
Now retired with an engineering background in design, drawing and an understanding of 3D projection, casting and mould making, I’ve made the transfer to 3D sculptural work instead of 2D stained glass panels.

ARTIST’S STATEMENT

Having a life time involvement and interest in ships the curved hull forms present an ideal shape for casting glass structures. I spent 4 years working in New York at the start of the construction of the twin towers, then following their destruction, in memory 'Twin Towers' was cast. This has led to a continuous interest in developing various tower constructions utilizing fusing glass and also incorporating dichroic glass.
