Kiln cast glass sculpture

ARTWORK RESUME CLASSES GALLERIES EXHIBITIONS CONTACT
In creating my glass sculpture I have found inspiration by looking at the artifacts from many different cultures which convey a sense of mystery about mankind’s existence through time. I use images of totems, boats and figures in my work to explore ideas about the cycle of life and death. I try to create archetypical images which are not culturally specific. In working with these images I am seeking a way to combine ancient forms and my own life experiences. I want my work to maintain a connection to the past and at the same time reflect a sense of the immediacy of the moment when glass, light and color interact.
