I capture the dynamic nature of glass as an elemental medium. Molten glass is kinetic, fluid and thrilling to work with. I enjoy carving glass because of my love for lines and texture. Also, it’s a mess, which is fun. Mindfulness is a critical component of my artistic endeavors. My focus is trained on the evolution of individual works within a series. I enjoy navigating the progression of an idea while embracing the freedom of experimentation. With exploration and scrutiny, I push the material in a way that challenges me, my knowledge and my technique.
Inspired by the unique movement of glass in its molten state, My Songlines series are composed specifically to relate to each other in space, so to imply imminent movement. Consider each individual object as a gesture or brushstroke. The complete composition balancing negative space, line, and color. The final form is shaped using extreme heat, gravity, and mindfulness.
