My current work is an exploration of change, time, and process. I've always
thought of glass as a matrix of the space-time-heat continuum. Its form is a record of a series
of events that happened to it along its formation, like strata within the earth’s crust.
The invisible strata within the glass all move as one, but at different rates depending on l
ocation and temperature. Sometimes they flow quickly, sometimes slowly, but always together
like an orchestra following the conductor with heat as the tempo.
I draw inspiration from the natural world, and try to capture the universal flow
that binds everything. Using traditional Italian techniques, modern developments in flameworked
borosilicate glass, and a mix of my own invented techniques, I’m trying to draw from and
acknowledge the past, represent the present, and bridge the future in the flow of change.
