Fully self-taught, Ben’s unbelievable items are hand drawn, hand reduce and handcrafted, layer on layer to create the tip product. He makes use of no laptop or high-tech equipment; simply 10 years of ability and expertise together with loads of endurance.

Raised in Waihi Seashore, New Zealand now residing in Sydney, Australia, you possibly can perceive the place Ben will get his inspiration from. Residing in part of the world the place the ocean actually does play a central position in everyday life, Ben has discovered a novel solution to pay homage to his much-loved environment.

“The best way I exploit the glass permits me to paint so many alternative parts of my conceptual concepts,” he says. “Lighting performs a big half within the presentation of my items. When lit from beneath, the sunshine displays and offers off the phantasm of the piece being dropped at life. I hope viewers may think the work as one thing ‘residing’ that creates the phantasm of an area, motion, depth, and sense of spatial being. I wish to play with the irony between the glass being strong materials and the way I can kind such pure and natural shapes.”
