These hand-painted glass birds are a tribute to my friend Salote who designed the form and made ceramic ones that she painted with glazes. I’ve taken her form and hand-cut it in glass, adding my own decoration using traditional glass paint and techniques. My designs are informed by both my English and South Asian heritages.

Inspired by the William Morris quote ‘have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful’, the works in the Object & Form collection aspire to be one or the other, or maybe even both. These works are available to purchase from selected galleries or direct from me.
