The choice of materials
I use in my pieces - glass & steel - work against each other,
causing tension while maintaining a high level of dialogue. The
juxtaposition of the two serve to create an actual conversation,
drawing the viewer in, inviting them to participate, engaging them
both mentally and physically regardless of race, creed, or color.
This allows the viewer's own past experiences to play a significant
role in the present moment. The resulting dialogue can be used to
inform and educate, serving as a gathering ground for communication
easing cross-cultural boundaries. Amidst this interaction derives
thought-provoking insight and one hopes, better understanding of
the concepts and ideals the work embodies.
Crude yet detailed structures
transcend time, boldly manifesting enduring concepts. They float
in and out of many moments. They are always in motions as much as
glass itself is always in flux. It is within this context, the pieces,
the concepts they represent, breathe life...
