Artist Statement
I consider artistic expression a very open and revealing aspect of human thought, a form of continuity, as if at will, it inspires all people on an individual basis to think creatively, spiritually and critically. With that in mind, I consider glass to be the ultimate media being characteristically versatile to; form, functionality, colour, light, texture and endless other qualities.
My approach to making glass is to embrace the traditional techniques of glassblowing and other glass disciplines to create original objects inspired by the history of the media itself and of artistic theory. Glassblowing has taught me fundamental processes in creating objects of functionality, sculpture, art, and of fine craftsmanship. Glass is an intuitive media untouchable while hot, making it a very challenging and demanding material.
I am learning new aspects and techniques related to glass continuously, which allows me to keep growing as glass artist. I can see endless applications to glass creatively either on it’s own or along with other materials, the possibilities are limitless.
