Statement

Elegant and refined, Feenan’s pieces evoke strength and balance with their stacked geometric shapes. His work explores the optical qualities of glass through technically challenging compositions. Lacey cane designs soften the bold geometry and provide contrast to the rigidity of form. Relying on pure ability and technique, Feenan seeks to emphasize the importance of a skilled artist’s hand in a machine-made world.
