Aline works mostly on site specific glass lighting commissions in collaboration with architects, interior- and lighting-designers. She also designs and produces exclusive kiln formed glass vessels and platters.
Her inspiration comes from her rural retreats to Dorset. The vibrant palette of beach paraphernalia, seaside rock and windbreak patterns translate with ease into fused glass.
Her search is to find a balance in combining the medium glass with lights. To harness the translucent beauty of glass she casts found objects, e.g. feathers and leaves, to create chandeliers.
The sparkling translucency, the fluidity and the ever-changing colour palette of the sea have immediate relevance to working with kiln formed glass and provide an infinite source of inspiration.
Since spending Covid lockdown in rural Dorset, Aline has rekindled with her roots in textiles and has developed her passion for cyanotype printing on textiles and paper. See her latest cyanotype creations. They can be ordered from the website, or made to commission.
