Applying glass pigment colours to clear float glass with multiple kiln firings and selective sandblasting, I was able to modify the flow of light across the surface and within the glass. When I began to experiment with glass panels as paintings in Sydney in 1993, I did not realise that this initially intuitive exploration would lead to a re-think and return to the origins of my work with painting and early influences of growing up in New Zealand. I acknowledge that sometimes huge distances exist between 'seeing' and 'doing', the encircling of which leads to renewal. Returning 'C'
