"I capture the dynamic nature of glass as an elemental medium. This approach creates a give and take relationship that forces me to develop my work both internally through technique/design and externally via form and function. Rather than reproducing the same exact piece my focus is trained on the evolution of individual works within a series. This perspective enables me to have consistency within a body of work and at the same time offers me the freedom of experimentation. It is important that each piece stands on it’s own as well as within the series."
