Wanting to explore the connection between light and glass I chose to use the "painting with light" technique. (Long Exposures combined with the use of specialized flashlights). Dressed in black I had to draw the patterns of light while in total darkness. It was quite an adrenaline rush as I had only thirty seconds to "paint". My biggest fear when doing this was not to trip over or knock over these expensive vases! I found the end result mesmerizing to look at.
