This year has run away from me and for good reasons. Still watching the light move across the wall in the day. Not doing a lot of “work” just the free kind that doesn’t get paid kind and a decent amount of baking. Trading glass fruit on the mantle for duplo robots for a bit. Tbh il probably be marinating in the bath until November where I am posting from right now. See you on the other side ❤️

Visited Ōtautahi for the first time last week and loved it. They have the most beautiful gardens, great art, music, food and views. Loving pink and reds on this trip too. Would visit again :)

Making glass fruits in 2025! This year I will be continuing to make glass fruits but in small releases through out the year. Still keeping the few stockists I have. As well working on other artwork for a couple of shows. It’s also coming up 6 years since going out on my own! Which initially was amazing because I could do my washing in the daytime, but that does also grow old. I started to notice I don’t enjoy doing ALL the aspects of running a small business by myself. Isolation, boredom, loneliness, exhaustion and a touch of existential crisis has crept in. Plus I realised I don’t enjoy being a production factory. So anyway, I am open to changing things up and seeing where this takes me. If anyone needs an assistant, would like to collab, needs help with odd jobs (not too odd). I am open to challenging my creative abilities. Get in touch!

Lavender Glass x Roasted Ash 490 x 410 x 85 (Sold) I was unsure about having a darker frame with the lavender glass and a painting with dark tones. But it actually turned out to be my fave. Burnt cherry chocolate vibes with lighter under tones that come through on certain angles. This glass window series comes from a show I had earlier in the year. A wooden framed coloured glass window encasing a mixed media painting. Obscuring and reflecting within a frame, the window is a metaphor of inner exploration and/or a voyeuristic view inside the life of another. Please DM or email for enquires. Happy to arrange a viewing if local too. Kind of like Burnt cherry chocolate.

I know I never announced I was making glass fruits to order lol but I have now reached capacity for the end of the year. Thank you to everyone that managed to email or message and get a fruit order in ahead of time. I am grateful for you all and everyone that supports my art. I have been enjoying making glass fruit at a sustainable pace this year. It can be exhausting being a one woman team so instead I’ve taken time to prioritise looking after myself. Avoiding burn out, overstimulation and the stress that comes towards the end of the year has been my goal. So if you can slow down, take it easy and go at a pace that is sustainable for your practice, mental health and life. P.S : There may be a few extras lying around after the last kiln that I can post here too.
