Glass and Nature

Discarded bottles provide the perfect medium  – 100% pure, natural silica sand – transformed by the glassblowers breathing new life, into what is currently seen as waste.

Glass, Nature & Culture

As with our environment, each finished recycled glass product is unique, solid yet breakable, and must be handled with delicate care. The up-cycled glass forms are arranged into themes that invite the viewer to contemplate on the delicate balance between humans and nature.

Glass & Nature

As stewards of planet earth we have a responsibility to handle nature carefully. Analogously with glass, once broken, it is impossible to put it back together to its original state of exquisiteness.

These images have been shot at the incinerator at Pockwood Pond. Recycled glass sprouts out of the hazardous ash as a symbol that out of waste, resources can be borne.

Glass & Development

The cruise ship industry epitomises the quality vs quantity debate. Studies show the following negative impacts of the cruise ship industry on small island states:

  • low spending of cruise ship tourists
  • traffic congestion
  • damage to roads
  • emissions from ships
  • sun cream damage to reefs
  • stress on sewage systems
  • increased litter and waste
  • unknown imacts of dumping large volumes of food waste at sea
