Outer Spaces at The Scottish Gallery

Castle Douglas, Scotland
At each stage of the work with glass powders, I'm investigating how the light is reacting to the work. Cold working processes to come before it is finished.
My design process includes photography from the field and research of colour and pattern through printmaking. I find Japanese Woodblock Watercolour printing easy to translate into the layering and mark making I use in the glass work.
Raw glass powders, building up layers of colour and pattern which are then fired.
