ARTIST'S BACKGROUND

I graduated in Glass & Fine Art Post Grad Certificate, at Central St Martins in 2006 and had a piece on show at the Victoria and Albert Museum. I have also been short listed for the ‘Inspire by Awards’ & ‘Pride in the House’ and the ‘Future Design Awards’. My most recent project is organising and exhibiting a show 'Illumini', an illumination extravaganza which will be held in a grade 1 listed crypt in London with 15 artists in September 2008.

ARTIST'S STATEMENT

I am a London based mixed media artist who primarily works in glass and lighting for my Commissioned work. For my mixed media installation and sculptural work, recycled computer and electronic components are assimilated. The simplicity and complexity of circuit board patterns are a strong influence along with imagery of robotics.

Earlier work, of glass panelled wall art, consisted of mirror designs using my unique technique to create stunning lighted imagery. These pieces act as mirrors by day and transform at night to a powerful light feature for any space. My illuminated mirrors and contemporary stained glass wall panels are still consistent in my commissions.

At present my experimental sculptures and installations are influenced by technological advancements in the area of prosthetics and cybernetics. For example, the rapid human advancement in cybernetic technology, at the Southampton University 'The Southampton Hand'.

Even though my art is perceived as science fiction, it is however heavily influenced by everyday science fact.
