ARTIST'S STATEMENT
Her work explores themes of the unseen and the unpredictable, in particular how glass sculpture is viewed in light and space in the built and natural environment. The works explore how sculpture frames the environment. Utilising the universal quality of ancient monolith type sculptures the 'family' pieces highlight the relationships to each other.
