About the Maker: While my earlier work recorded this personal narrative of trans-location through reverse paintings onto glass panels, which were later rolled into cylinder vessels, my recent work has taken an environmental tone, constantly rethinking material use and impact, both in sculpture and function ware.
This idea of the transient studio has allowed for new technologies and vocabularies to enter my making, constantly rethinking material use and impact. This development in the work has been documented across a number of international magazines and exhibitions, including the Pergamon Museum in Berlin (Germany); Eisch Gallery, Frauenau (Germany, 2012, Musee Atelier du Verre, Sars-Poteries (France), and the major exhibition LACUNA with European Museum of Modern Glass, Coburg (Germany, 2010).
More recently he has presented solo exhibitions, Betwixt: Sculptures in Becomingness at Goulburn Regional Gallery (2017), The Glass Furnace, Istanbul (Turkey, 2016), Southern Illinois University Gallery, Carbondale (USA, 2016) and Leo Kaplan Modern, New York.
