The Thriving Canopy

Due to be unveiled at The International Festival of Glass at Stourbridge Glass Musuem August 2024. A pivotal moment for me was experiencing the worst effects of the energy crisis. My studio was hit so hard I thought that the previous year as a professional glass artist would be my last. By transitioning to 95% renewable energy sources in my art and consciously stepping away from fossil fuels, it has certainly felt like a fresh start. I use a range of air plants to depict a biodiverse and healthy scene. These plants rest within coloured vessels and stems to create a vibrant landscape encouraging the viewer to feel positive about adopting sustainable practices.
