Atmospheric Abstraction – Solo Show Bullseye Resource Centre in New York, 2018

Atmospheric Abstraction, is the culmination of my residency at the Corning Museum of Glass in 2017.

My work is concerned with revealing and concealing, deconstruction and reconstruction, and states of transition. It is inspired by notions of loss, transformation and remembrance. My ideas are explored through a physical and conceptual connection to the material and its transformative processes. I use both additive and subtractive processes in my work, making modifications over a period of time, to explore destruction and creation simultaneaously, through multiple kiln-forming and cold working processes. The outcomes are heavily-textured surfaces, resulting in ethereal and atmospheric compositions.
