| Introduction | I'm an emerging glass maker working from the JamFactory glass studio in Adelaide, South Australia. Originally from Ontario, Canada, I studied at the Alberta college of Art and Design receiving a BFA in 2007. My work is blown glass. I make functional products to sell and various other object based arty stuff that just sits on my desk and stares at me. I regard my work as both an appropriation of traditional forms and techniques and a projection of what a futuristic aesthetic might look like in glass. The 'machine made by hand' pun is my creed to craft. It describes a working style that celebrates the handmade yet satisfies the need for sharp, accurate, almost mechanised lines. |
