My sculptural glasswork tends to follow several diverse themes, as I have so many different interests & I want to explore them all. From fun projects like snowglobes, alien lifeforms and my plasma work, I am also currently working on a more personal collection exploring mental health issues.
Up until 2016 I had an ongoing project ‘The ancient fauna and flora of Mars’ where I created possible lifeforms, in glass, that could have existed on an alien world. These I then mounted in box frames as though they were scientific specimens. I based them on microscopic & sea-life, reminding the viewer how rare & strange life on our own planet already is. Sadly alot of the photos of these were lost in a PC crash, so these are a few lo-res pictures that I’ve manged to save. Ironically just after I created the ‘bucket of eyes’ creature I had to undergo emergency eye surgery, which greatly reduced the amount of work I could do until 2019 when I finally had my last opperation. Although I’ve made a few since I’m now exploring new themes, although I suspect a few aliens will still appear as I ‘discover’ them!

Monster pens, these bite back! The infamous ‘bucket of eyes’ alien! One of my more recent works, I still create some of these ‘cthulhu shell’ aliens An early piece, one I’m still exploring, astrum=star phasmatis=spiral I create many different forms & colours ‘Witch leaf’ Sadly I don’t have better pictures of this ‘Alien Seahuntress necklace’ from around 2013. I wanted a rustic looking necklace to look like an beachcomber on an alien world had put it together ‘The Rapture’ – around 32cm tall, divers helment is guilded in copper Alien butterfly, wings are networked blue borosilicate glass & there are two layers to each Shell creature with metallic effect glass
