Leerdam Glass

In 1994, I worked with glass for the first time at the invitation of the National Glass Museum and the Royal Leerdam Glass Factory. Initially, in what was for me an unfamiliar, remote material, I remained true to my ceramic form language, creating blown objects that were made into new forms by sawing, grinding and polishing them. Often these small objects with globular extensions were given a new visual resting point by gluing a pure cylinder onto them. There were also remarkable dishes with patterns of cut lines and satiny inner surfaces. In the following years, glass increasingly took the lead in her activities.
