"My inspiration has always been plant life- cryptogamic plants such as lichen, moss, algae, fungi. But I am also interested in using the structures and textures of marine creatures and invertebrates such as sea urchins, sea stars, jellyfish, sea anemones and coral. I have investigated and combined qualities of these plants and animal organisms in sculptural works. Continuing with the development of combining found natural elements and other materials."
Verity’s work is inspired by the structures within nature. She is fascinated by light, the magic it creates in the natural environment and the way it interacts with glass, the qualities it creates. She uses a variety of warm and architectural glass techniques to create work for galleries, architectural commissions and exhibition.
"I live and work rurally in North Wales and my immediate environment provides my inspiration. Natural structures such as algae, lichen, moss, grasses, ferns, and fungi. I am interested in the complexity of life- how within each organism are other organisms, each living its own unique existence, layer upon layer of complexity yet a universal oneness, the feeling that we are all the same thing- a system, in communion, a beautiful symphony. It is this blissful, expansive and calm space that I access through nature which is what I am trying to communicate and share in the medium of glass.
I like to combine techniques: cast, pate de verre, kilnformed, painted, etched and also found natural materials in my work. I play with ideas of magical realism, creating my own forms inspired by or combining different plants and organisms."
