‘I interpret landscapes through exploration of material. I focus on rugged

coastlines, looking at erosion as a spectacle of discovery and generation of

form, revealing a sense of the history and movement of a place. The work is

produced using my ‘Lost Ice Process.’ I use salt to sculpt ice as a one-off

ephemeral model to take a direct cast from. The textures this provides and the transient nature of the creative process reflects the erosion and sense of time I want to represent in the landscape. There is a roughness from the initial cast that is ground polished and refined to its final finish, revealing the internal structures of the glass and creating facets and flat planes to redefine theessence of the made against the organic surface.’
