The transient nature of
relationships, the absolute accidental nature of contacts
that we have in our lives and the fact that they can be
as insubstantial as light. Light can be everything and
nothing and we don’t always see our impact on other
people. I think I am conscious of this through teaching,
through life, through relationships. I am very aware
and quite amazed the effect I have on people and the effect
they have on me. How even the smallest contact can
make a really big difference.'
'Glass provides me with a particular kind
of language. Because of the associations that people have
with it and because I know as a maker how it works, it
gives me the words to form a visual sentence. Glass has
a memory. When you are working with molten glass, if you
chill a bit of glass that memory is captured, it is part
of the piece and that is one of the things that I am exploiting.' |
