from metalworker to glassworker
i began my art practice welding steel and casting aluminum. while documentation of many of those works is lost to time, i eventually found my way to glass and neon, where i am exploring the idea of pathways in general, and in specific the motion, growth, and sinuous trajectories as they relate to contingencies and circumstance.
i have come to embrace the boundaries of architectural space as a way to frame the works. earlier pieces used the constraints and limits of wall and ceiling junctures, whereas newer sculptures penetrate these architectural boundaries. entering and exiting the architecture into and behind real space, visible portions play two roles, observable in space, but in their absence, simultaneously alluding to a larger hidden aspect concealed by the room’s orthogonal components.
