| Artist's Statement: | |
|
Innocence, vulnerability and analysis are recurring themes in my work. I Iike to bend reality to incorporate odd juxtapositions, to bend forms to follow my own quirky sensibility. Many of my goblets express a childlike delight with slmple things, or novel combinations of forms. Some are funky, some are elegant. They can be considered a "toast" to various manifestations of Innocence. Some of the works carry scars, Iike an ancient artifact or a primordial carnivorous plant, full of warts and tentacles. They imply growth over time or an unspoken history. Like "old souls," they come into this world already wounded by exposure. I find glass the perfect medium for this kind of work: its fluidity, malleability and paradoxical nature bring out the mysterious parts of myself that I seek to explore and express through art. I enjoy and have pursued lampworking since 1975 because of its immediacy and practicality The beauty, transparency and fragility of glass are especially well-suited for exploring the themes that interest me. | |
