In my 49th year of working with glass I cannot ignore the possibility that it may one day come to an end. There will be the last series, the last exhibition and the last piece. The circumstances and time are unknowable but the yearning to work expressively is undaunted. New ideas are being considered; old ideas being re-examined.

The work exhibited was some 20 years in the making. The notion of the real and the virtual as being constructs of the mind gave rise to the two dimensional ‘vessel’, here almost replicated in its partner form.

My works are exhibited, collected and published internationally. They are held in more than twenty public collections and many corporate and private collections worldwide. When will the world have enough of my works? Given the fragility of the environment perhaps I should refrain from or restrict further production.

Formerly Coordinator of Glass Studies and subsequently Head of the School of Design at the University of South Australia I have since 1996 been primarily engaged in exhibiting while also undertaking consultancy projects, design commissions and architectural projects. Periodically I publish articles on contemporary glass, teach workshops, give lectures and present conference papers internationally.
