Isinglass I have a design degree from Liverpool Polytechnic and have worked in the arts for 30 years. Initially as a computer artist creating backgrounds and sprites for 8 and 16 bit games, then moving into art team then project management. I am currently Production Director for a small development house creating games and apps for mobile platforms. Once I stopped drawing for a living I investigated many spheres of craft and fused glass caught my imagination 100%. I started ‘Isinglass’ with the aide of a grant from The Crafts Council, after being made redundant 9 years ago. I compulsively make fused glass in all my free time and exhibit in small galleries across the UK. I find glass, water and light have strong connections that I can’t ignore, they inform much of my work, (in reflection or viewed through as layers). I am also inspired by the nature I see around me and weather I experience. Often my work needs to be seen with the light behind it so some pieces are designed to hang at windows or sit on windowsills. They can involve movement of some kind, and balance. I also keep fish!
