ARTIST STATEMENT

My initial passion for glass started as a quest to find rhythm and discipline. Working with glass is a way to focus and connect my mind and body. The material requires full attention, and over time, it continually reveals discoveries and possibilities. My work captures the fluid-like movement of molten glass as a tribute to my connection with the water, and its healing properties. 

In many ways, glass and water share the ability to bend light, distort perception, and blur the boundary between interior and exterior space. While water and glass both have fluid states, glass can capture a pattern in a permanent form as it cools. My creations are intended to display a sense of stillness and motion at once. 

I enjoy finding similarities with how water can create patterns and movements that draw the eye into a quiet, hypnotic attention. In my work, I try to capture and interpret these patterns with molten glass, inviting the viewer to pause and experience movement rendered still.
