My process is quite time consuming, but never in a negative way. Slowly, with steady hands I layer powdered glass colours, and fuse them in to paper thin sheets of glass. Here, at this stage I am both the painter and the craftsman. Shades and tones, nuances and hues, they are all brought together in these distinct patterns/images of mine.
The surface is of great importance to me as I believe we experience the world with all our senses, and not only with our vision.

Not just the shiny and glossy. But it is a thin line. To emphasise the rough structure of my images I work with contrasts, combining rough structures and shiny cut on pieces of glass.
