Artist Statement

My work makes use of glass to explore depth, form, light, and pattern within the world. By the very nature of its creation, each piece serves as a physical roadmap of the process. The task is often challenging, and each impulse is met with a level of uncertainty. The results are then archived with meticulous detail and honesty, and put on display. I think in many ways this parallels our own experience. We are the collection of those moments, and a response to the feedback we put into it. Whether we choose to embrace it or attempt to hide it within, those actions and experiences have a way of bleeding through to the surface.
