My love of the way metal can be bent, rolled and folded stems from the fact that something of such strength can be manipulated into something of such beauty. When I am working with hammer and forge, fire and steel I love nothing more than recreating found objects into natural shapes, like trees, leaves, ferns, feathers and animals. The Glass Blossom Tree was created after seeing a beautiful tree in a garden in Healesville just beginning to blossom.
