PLASMA

I’m passionate about Plasma or Plasma Light, a process requiring the technical and artistic expressions of glass with the alchemical and scientific application of excited gases and specialized equipment that you would also find used in neon.
Plasma brings something unique to glass, and that is to invite touch, something very difficult. By producing light through the use of electrified gases it removes the barrier between the viewer and art with its animated glow, allowing an invitation for play as it responds to the viewer’s proximity and touch.

INSPIRE Series

Inspire is a series of blown glass lungs, which began as an exercise in drawing on glass using engraving and carving techniques. In creating the lungs, an effortless fluidity and breath are required to give it shape and form. To balance these efforts, like its namesake, I let the process be my inspiration. Each drawing starts with a series lines that wrap around the piece. These lines are then used as guides to create an evolving pattern when viewed from multiple perspectives. While Design is the focus of the work, the labor reveals something beautiful when we can peel away the outer layers and see what lies beneath.

RESONANCE Series

Resonance is a series of likenesses between horizontally turned wood on a lathe and that of furnace-blown glass at the bench, both processes require to tool to touch and interact with the materials.
