Marks , Bruce

My birthplace Africa, has had the greatest influence

on my work.

During my last visit, I immersed myself in the raw

energy of the country and found inspiration in the

traditions of everyday life there - its splendour,

power, and spiritual beauty.



Most of my recent work is sculptural. Pieces are made

in different stages, and assembled hot. I concentrate

on colour and surface texture and achieve these

through a range of processes including sandblasting,

carving and etching, creating details that capture the

light and allow it to illuminate the piece.



I rarely sketch as I already have a very clear image

in my head before I start.

Using adapted kitchen implements and plumbing tools I

mould and sculpt the molten glass – creating imaginary

moments of Africa.
