Six solid cast clear glass figures with metallic oxide inclusions and pate-de-verre detailing. Each piece is roughly one third life size. Dimensions: Various sizes. (2012)

The inspiration for übersehen came from a fusion of my passion for Baroque figure sculpture, glass chemistry and Heidegger’s conception of Dasein, Being-in-the-world. Each figure is wholly absorbed, confined and shaped by their experience, the nature of which we as viewers can only imagine, watching from the outside as the figures struggle or expire in their isolated worlds.

For me, being amongst the glass of übersehen is no different to walking through the street or standing amongst commuters on a train – surrounded by people about whom it is difficult to truly know anything and who may never be able to experience the world as each of us does.
