In a world of absolute brightness a sparkle becomes invisible, drowning into radiance. It needs the contrast of a softer space to appear and shine. In this calm environment even the most timid gleam will delicately
scintillate.
A lump of 1140ºC molten clear glass is sculpted into the shape of a ring. After 12 hours of slow cooling, its
surface is etched to remove all remaining shine and transparency. The ring is now at its most dull aspect of the process. Then carefully carved and polished facets open windows of transparency, revealing a shining core full of subtleties.

"I have been working with leftover wooden frame fragments for many years. The first time I saw these pieces scattered on the floor, some with a shine, some without, I felt an unexpected excitement.
If those silvery, gold-toned fragments, almost winking at me, had not been there among the darker wooden
pieces, would I have felt that pull? I am almost certain I wouldn’t.
I believe shiny, sparkling surfaces have a particular effect. They draw the eye but can also overwhelm. Like sunlight, we are drawn to it, yet after a while we look for shade while still wanting to keep it in sight. In my pieces, I use a similar approach by colouring the edges and backs with a matte finish to balance the
brightness. Though I speak of balance, I sometimes work with exaggerated gold-toned frames and let the
sparkle fully unfold, even adding pearls to introduce another layer of luminosity.
I feel these are moments when a certain brightness, a kind of sparkle within me, comes forward and moves
directly into the work, without much filtering.

STATEMENT
“Sparkle” is not merely brilliance or glamour-it is the fragile, often unnoticed beauty that reveals itself through contrast. It is a quiet, emotional flicker that sustains us, a subtle force that endures alongside struggle and uncertainty. This kind of sparkle does not demand attention; it emerges slowly, almost imperceptibly, in moments of vulnerability, resilience, and quiet transformation.
