My studio-based practice uses the medium of cast glass to explore the abstraction of form. I employ voids as a primary compositional element, allowing the architecture of this conversation to be shaped by the unique material properties of glass, which invites an overlaying of form and light. The latter also plays a critical role within my practice; it has a dynamic relationship with my work, with its changeable qualities flooding each piece with different moods and properties, revealing internal anatomies of form. I strive to create works that evoke concepts of space and elicit a sense of wonder within the viewer. The structuring and layering of often simple shapes becomes complex when the voids and solids are read together, and I find this dialogue compelling. The phenomena of light, concepts of illumination and ways of seeing are constant sources of inspiration that I consider and explore through the act of making. I see glass as a substrate that is activated and animated by light. Its qualities of transparency and translucency are the agents within the work that create the dialogue between these positive forms and negative spaces.
