I studied furniture design at Middlesex University and an interest in light led me to explore the physical and visual qualities of glass. I then went on to study Glass at the Royal College of Art, where I worked on architectural scale projects dealing with issues of light and space.
Glass is a material which allows me to exploit the aesthetic potential of Light. Minimal structures, support simple arrangements of glass, which interact with light to create complex kinetic patterns of light and shade. My work aims to reveal the wonder and true magic of the phenomenon of light.
\"For Chris Wood, her canvass is glass and her medium is light. She uses one to manipulate the other with subtle interventions placed in the optical plane. She harnesses patterns of light into exquisite tiny movies or streams of fluttering images, which recall ephemeral glimpsed moments in the natural world\".
Extract of an essay for the "Stay" publication by Cherry Smyth
I produce experimental glass and light works for exhibition and Informed by this exploratory approach I also produce work to commission for architectural and interior situations.
I have recently completed commissions for the Deloitte & Touche, IPC Media, East England European assembly offices in Brussels and was selected out of 200 applicants to produce artworks for a new Hospital in St Helen's. I am currently working on a large public artwork for a major hotel chain in Cambridge
