"I chose glass and neon as a medium because it conveys light; because it shines at its brightest when it is darkest and because of the fragility of the glass containing the gases. Neon can be used to illuminate ideas, feelings, memories and emotions. I also find the fragility combined with the strength of glass highly appealing."
