My work is very intuitive, leaving me free to start a piece without the pressure of the final outcome. Once I start and I like what the result is I find it takes time to get to the next stage, photographs, combinations, knowing when I feels right. When I started tube light I knew I wanted to slump glass on metal pieces, I had tried before and had failed. I knew I needed thicker glass and to reduce kiln temperatures. I had success with Tube Light, I then repeated the process which to my delight worked.
