The Liminal Space, Kilnformed glass and welded steel rod, 30 x 25 x 20 cm

Born in the West Midlands, UK, she graduated from the Royal College of Art in 2020 with an MA in Ceramics and Glass. Previously she received First Class Honours for a BA in Contemporary Crafts from Falmouth University in 2014.

The Liminal Space focuses on the fusing together of coloured glass on top of a metal welded skeletal form. Initially she positions the unfired work inside the kiln, finding the anticipation of the precariousness of the firing simultaneously exciting and frightening. Once the door is shut, the glass comes alive, moving and being shaped by heat and gravity, draping over the metal rods that lie in its pathway.
