Sculpture
“My sculptures usually focus on the female form; the structure lends itself to the material being rounded and flowing. Most of the figures possess an abundance of flesh that can be distorted as I see fit, exaggerating the posture and momentum.” Glass is a challenging material for sculpture, especially when it is in a molten […]
Insight
“Before I began my career in glass I was a Psychology undergraduate. I was much more interested in the sciences when I was in school and my degree in Psychology cemented my knowledge of biology and the chemistry of the mind.” Elliot’s Insight series makes use of his skills as a glass sculpture and the […]

I am also interested in the preservative nature of this sudden change of state, such as the premature fossilisation of Pompeii or the encapsulation of lifeforms […]
Surf N Turf
‘Surf and Turf represent the best of my work, and the largest still life pieces I have created to date. These pieces are created using colourless glass but as in all of my work, colour is an important factor. Natural silica crystals as well as manmade prisms and lenses have the ability to distort and […]
