Inspired by the long tradition of Natural History Museums using glass to record and preserve specimens for study, and particularly by the exquisite Blaschka models, I create glass still lifes that invite quiet contemplation. These works echo the role of glass as both a scientific and artistic medium, capable of holding detail, fragility and permanence at once. In an era where climate change continues to disrupt and endanger fragile ecosystems, these pieces become gentle acts of preservation. They offer moments of pause, encouraging viewers to reflect on the beauty of the natural world and the knowledge embedded within it. By transforming fleeting forms into glass, the work speaks to memory, loss and care, underscoring the importance of safeguarding what remains for future generations. I use vintage, found items to give connection to the past. I sculpt in glass to give inspiration of the future, forever hopeful in my outlook.
