While on a 4 month trip around New Zealand in our van in 2001, I could not help but collect things along the way. Two of those things were naturally hollowed out driftwood and smooth broken glass from old bottles that had been washed around in the ocean for many years. I had no idea at the time of collecting these that at a later stage I would combine the two.

I wanted to recreate the lost sides of the driftwood using the glass. This turned out to be a very long process because I wanted to make sure the gaps between the glass were as small as possible. This meant hours of sifting through the glass and trying different pieces until I got the best fit.

With the finished pieces I could not help but put a light in them, it felt like they deserved to be bought back to life.
