Artist Statement:
My passion as an artist is to
work 3 dimensionally. I prefer
mixed media including blown,
fused, cast glass and welded
metal. Glass to me, is one of
the most challenging and
rewarding material experiences
as a craft. The ability of
glass to take form and color
is enhanced by its surface
qualities and transparency. I
try not to favor one technique
or style in glassforming but
use many different ones to
achieve an overall three
dimensional sculptural result.
Thematic of the lore of the
sea and seafarers, I like to
think of each piece of glass
and mixed media sculpture as a
kind of voyage. Sometimes, I
blow a vessel into a bottle’s
form to refer to something
about the sea. Other times, I
will fashion a boat hull as a
vessel form to compare and
contrast the form of the
bottle to. By way of content,
I attempt to narrate a story
of my own invention through
the work. I also find it
amusing to speculate on the
relationship between the
bottle or the boat as they are
both considered types of
vessels.
