Artist Statement:
My sculptures in glass and
paper embody my interest in
poetry, jazz, and
mythological imagery.
I use a number of techniques
to create sculpture including
sand casting,
kiln casting, and flameworking
in glass. In paper I use
vacuum forming, pulp casting
and handmade molds to shape
cotton, abaca, flax, homegrown
plant and recycled paper
fibers.
My current work, Shield,
explores symbols of protection
and healing and
ancient African imagery.
I work through the study of
these African and African
American symbols and
images to create a new mythos
that expresses a connection
between the
ancient and the present, makes
good manifest, and figures the
transcendent.
