| Introduction | After working on the land for 15 years I started my career in glass in 1990, assisting my wife Eileen Gordon, who was already a renowned glass blower, to establish the Gordon Studio Glassblowers. Untrained, but encouraged by Eileen, by 1994 I had sold the farm and started working full time on my own range of glass art. As a farmer I came to feel part of the Australian landscape - as a glass artist my work is a natural extension of that. I love the difficulties of working with glass, the dangers and thrill of exploration and experimentation - finding new and more challenging ways through the medium of glass blowing to express my feelings about the land. |
