As a child Bibi was really drawn to watercolour. “Looking back, I think watercolour has something innate that glass also has: a kind of transparency, immediacy and spontaneity. These same characteristics I found in glassblowing at a later age.” Hot glass for her seems to be alive, the way that it flows and moves and radiates light, it totally fascinates her. The piece needs to have movement; it needs to convey a message or a thought or feeling to another person. Glass to her is the perfect material to express movement and the essence of life.
