Statement:
Drawing upon a set of technical skills learnt during a diverse fashion career, Stephen’s drawing practice showcases manual, digital and glass engraving techniques. His glass engraving portfolio is intended to elevate drawing to a new level of preciousness; he has been inspired by how the humble art of dress making has been elevated by the fashion industry into haute couture. His glass work is intended to mimic this elevating process, whilst also dealing with central issues of aesthetics, spirituality and transcendence.
