I am drawn to abstract, geometric sculpture, the volume of it, the form, the textures. With glass, light interacts with shape in a way that that is different from all other experiences. Working with the shapes that I find, I adapt them, combining elements of multiple forms and unrelated textures, to arrive at a final destination. By combining the curving lines of nature, together with the angular lines of geometry and then interpreting them in glass I attempt to create a sculpture that allows light to bring the work to life. Line and mass, the interplay of curves and planes, textures and polish all working together, to create effects of light and shadow, and a sense of structural strength and unity.
