Artificial light has flattened our sense of time, extending day into night and reshaping both sleep and ecology. What if a lighting object behaved differently? This post explores the idea of ethical lighting, systems that respond to natural cycles and negotiate atmosphere rather than impose it.

A new year marks the launch of Kajakamber. An exploration of echo, glass, and light, setting goals for the year ahead and taking the first steps into percentage for art.

I designed a wooden mould from fresh fruitwood, added air channels, made it three-part for control and handed the carpenter a clear 3D plan.

When I first stumbled across Zhao Jinya’s work, I had one of those oh, damn moments. You know the kind, when someone else is doing something so stunningly close to what you’ve been dreaming of that you half want to applaud and half want to sulk. Her glass doesn’t just sit quietly being decorative; it hums, it vibrates, it glows . Zhao Jinya portrait Zhao was born in China and trained at the China Academy of Art before heading to the Royal College of Art in London, where she

At the intersection of geometry and light, Michael E. Taylor’s glass sculpture dazzles with precision-cut forms and radiant colour. Laminated with epoxy, the piece captures movement, tension and translucency, reminding us that beauty can emerge from both clarity and complexity.

Am I an artist or a designer? After a summer of hot shops and introspection, I’m leaning into design—with all its functional, playful, and slightly rebellious edges. From nipple shakers cast from my own breasts to collaborations in the furnace, here's how I’m finding my sweet spot in glass product design.

What do a rainbow swimming pool, a glowing pixel façade, and spinning colour discs have in common? They're all part of Felipe Pantone’s vibrant, tech-infused art world—and they're fuelling my next wave of glass creations. From gradient mosaics to kinetic sculptures, here’s how his work is sparking my own playful experiments with light, colour, and transformation.

Helen Pashgian, a pioneering voice in the Light and Space movement, creates luminous resin, acrylic, and glass forms that shift with your movement and perception. This post explores her most iconic works and why her installations inspire my own glass-light-tech practice.

Dan Flavin painted with fluorescent light long before LEDs were cool. This post dives into his minimalist magic, explores why his glowing installations still matter, and how I’m remixing that legacy with addressable LEDs and glass. Think quiet rebellion meets programmable colour chaos.

Toshio Iezumi’s glass sculptures are quiet acts of transformation. From the sweeping curves and polished works shift with light, revealing new perspectives at every angle.

What happens when a mirror doesn’t just reflect, but responds? Inspired by Daniel Rozin’s mesmerising mechanical mirrors, I set out to create my own motored reflection machine — part sculpture, part surveillance, part self-portrait. Here’s what I learned from Rozin, a lot of servo motors, and a few minor meltdowns.

James Turrell doesn’t just make art about light—he uses light as his medium. In this reflective essay, I explore how Turrell’s immersive installations resonate with my own practice as a glass artist, particularly through themes of perception, transformation, and interactivity. What does it mean to sculpt with light, and how can glass carry that same sensory weight?

“I’ve always been fascinated by what happens when reflection turns into repetition—when a single spark of light or a sliver of glass opens up whole new dimensions. Artists like Yayoi Kusama stretch that idea to the edge of infinity. Through mirrors, lights and obsessive forms, they create worlds where you don’t just look—you fall in. And for me, that’s where the magic begins.

Ever looked into a mirror balloon and seen yourself upside down and weirdly fabulous? Jeppe Hein makes art that literally reflects you—sometimes hilariously, always beautifully. And honestly, I’m here for it.
