In recent years I have been involved in making several exterior glass sculptures. These have been exciting to do, as it seems to me, we are creating a relatively new language, exploring way glass can be used as a sculptural medium.

The UK-based American artist Danny Lane has done nothing but make large scale glass sculptures for the last thirty years. Danny has created some of the most enormous and startling glass sculptures you will see anywhere in the world. But he has been a bit of a lone voice. Today he has become more and more involved in making extraordinary cast glass sculptures.

We have created a series of glass sculptures. There were the ‘Frozen Fountain’ sculptures we made for a client in Hong Kong, working with the landscape designer Randle Siddeley. We made five of these monolithic pieces. The tallest was 2.8m out of the ground ? they made up a little family group!

And this wall in a garden also adds such depth and space to the garden ? instead of just a blank enclosure. This sense of a forest disappearing into the darkness is very engaging.

More recently we made a series of sculptures for another landscape project. These were acting as sculptures AND as wind barriers and needed to be at least 3m tall to fulfil this role. Altogether we made ten separate pieces, through some were tied together to create wind obstructing walls?

At the moment I am consumed with other ideas of shapes and forms we could create in glass that would bring colour, sparkle and reflection to any environment.
