Thoughts in glass

I am always getting new ideas, but it is not always easy to express them into glass. Glass has its own will when you are melting it in high temperature. Surprises during the different stages can happen, in that lies the charm and the challenge in working with glass. An idea therefore also has to be planned carefully in a long procedure to prevent failures.

I have always been delighted in the transparency of glass, of the clear light in the bright colours. Most of all I hope that I can embrace the viewer of my artworks in this medium.

I think it is fascinating and different to work with glass instead of other media. I develop all my work myself according to the classic process via cutting, painting,  firing and leading. I like to combine both of the methods of work and also to create it in two and three dimensional forms.
