“Contemporary glass and mixed media” is the label I use to describe my
artwork. The glasswork ranges from purely blown forms to cast, cut, and
polished glass assemblages that deal with classical form, function, and
decorative pattern. The conceptual themes are drawn from my personal
experience and often take the form of mixed media sculpture and
installation.
Early in my career I was involved with the mystery and mastering
of glass blowing techniques. Once that was accomplished, I turned my
energies toward aesthetic composition and concepts of design.
Upon taking on the label of artist, I have a commitment not only
to originality, creativity, and experimentation; but I must also push to
the edges of my ability. I draw from past experiences and make the
choices that ultimately unfold into what I am willing to present to the
world.
In handling a material again and again and again, I discover what
the limitations of that material are and where the design of my
imagination may go. The challenge is in the process of bringing what is
in my head to the limitations of the medium.
