Peach Whirl, Assorted Flavours series

Paula's work is mainly inspired by a child's imagination, which turns common things magical and makes the proportions of the world change over time. With her Assorted Flavours series, she aims to explore the happy feeling of urgency caused by a melting ice cream. The same feeling comes with the glassmaking process but with the temperature reversed. For her, hand blowing glass is a mesmerising and surprising game of colour and form; the colours reacting to one another and to the shape in an unexpected way.
