Private Collection 

Inspired by my time in Frauenau, this work celebrates the appreciation for local beer in southern Germany. All the beer caps included were collected throughout the masterclass from beer brewed in the neighbouring town of Zweisel and available through Bild-Werk's extremely popular chilled vending machines! 

The vessel and lid contain small bubbles within the glass itself, this aesthetic was inspired by works seen during a visit to the Glasmuseum Frauenau. Multiple beer mats collected during a brief stay in Munich on the way to Bild-Werk create a small plinth for the piece.

Created at Bournemouth University, these pieces were exhibited at the Digital Design Centre, Poole.

This series of vessels was inspired by the presence of ink in water. The form of these bottles was influenced by an interpretation of calligraphy pen nibs. Produced during my final year studying at Bournemouth University, this series was originally exhibited standing within a pool of ink.

The reflections produced by the pool of ink are recreated using black as a background within the photographs.

Created during a residency at North Lands Creative, it was important for me to produce work in response to and influenced by my surroundings. These pieces take inspiration from the silhouettes of the mountains on the horizon that are easily visible from the studio in Lybster..
