"Glass fits my creative process. It allows me to work spontaneously, to play
with colors and shapes, to backtrack and rearrange until a design starts to
gel. I also love the technical aspects of working with glass: getting it to
break properly, learning to predict how the glass will behave when fired,
grinding, sandblasting, slicing, and polishing. Every firing offers the chance
to experiment, the potential for failure and the possibility of unexpected
stunning results.
Currently, I‚m exploring using a matte surface (obtained by sandblasting
and refiring) to give transparent glass the color depth of opacity while
maintaining the glow of transparency. I can‚t imagine ever becoming bored
working with glass. "
