Cane Swirl
Hand Blown Glass
In 1993 I was introduced to working hot glass, and what then began as a hobby interest, has now become a consuming passion.
Glass is not a full-time occupation, but does compliment and share many similarities to my regular work as a Plastic Surgeon (with Hand Surgery as a major interest). Common themes include planning and preparation, a technical and scientific basis, manual dexterity, attention to detail, precision, lateral thinking and a creative flair.
My interests remain largely in hot glass, especially cane forms and sculpture. I enjoy using vibrant colour emphasising translucency, reflectivity, and form to present objects which are strong yet still reflect the fragility of glass. Much of my work has concentrated on developing anatomic forms in hot glass, with the more recent development of abstract forms exploring glass optics.
