Artist Statement
Life in its essence is craft. Through the work of my hands I experience life. For me, glass is alive. From its glow during manipulation to its stillness as it settles into permanence, glass reflects life’s own strength and fragility. The process can be humbling but the rewards are sweet.
In my work, there are stories. The subjects of my sculptures are derived from figurative elements and symbolic icons— their familiarity is how I achieve a personal connection. By placing my subjects in extraordinary environments I invite the viewer to question the nature of their reality and create their own meaning. My aim is for the viewer to refamiliarize themselves with the content of my sculptures and place them in their own unique context. My hope is for my work to find life in the imagination of the viewer.
