“My work is the triumph of the playful side of things – the sheer joy of matching colours, taking delight in their essence and revealing their opacity and transparency.

My dreams, my emotions, my thoughts – they are all in vivid colour. I adorn myself with colours and necklaces driven by the same unaffected doggedness as when I was a kid and it was all a great game.

It’s a richness that eventually becomes one’s inner suit: a sheer love for unusual combinations, for elegance and for that clarity of vision that only colour can give me. To me, glass is the ideal tool and material because I can emphasise any colour and nuance I like.”
