Free blown, repurposed and melted waste glass.

In the wonderful book, 'Silence in the Age of Noise', Norwegian Explorer, Erling kagge speaks about "the way that words create boundaries for our experiences." How we can sometimes spend so much time trying to find the words to describe an amazing experience that we don't concentrate on the experience itself. That's why I love diving. It's essentially non-verbal. A profound, highly visual, sensory experience that is truly beyond words. Shared only with those that were there, in a smile or a look - few words, yet profound memories. Each piece in the Beyond Words collection comes from a lifetime of these experiences/memories. A celebration of all the beauty we see, the emotions we feel, the sounds we hear, all our loves and memories that take us beyond the bounds of language. Created using repurposed and remelted waste glass from my studio in West Wales.
