It’s not often when one gets a phone call out of the blue where the conversation kicks off around light, optics and sculpture. I answered this call at the beginning of December, to imagine a sculpture which encapsulates lights, camera and action for the Silwerskermfees 2022.
It is truly a proud moment to be recognised on this grand international platform for contemporary glass, to be one of the voices intertwining the world of glass and future, twenty-first century art.
One thing I have learned from the international glass community is that it is a family with weird cousins, uncles and aunts, some might be scary and others timid or bombastic, everyone differently unique but all are giving, supportive and believe in the magic of glass and its future
