Artist Statements
Stacks and Towers
Inspired by stone stacks at the beach and Venetian glass traditions, these sculptural forms are composed of stacked, balanced glass sections with rhythmic contours and architectural sensibilities. They emphasize both physical balance and visual harmony.
Sweet Spot
I use glass as a canvas to capture light that extends and compresses space. This transitional space creates a perceptual limbo of meditation between two and three dimensions. Pattern, shape, and color flow through dimensions in this midway state: the Sweet Spot.
