A Stone's Throw - New Beginnings

5/18/2020

I took a traumatic experience in my life and created a body of work called transition and change. I wanted to work with it because it held power and it mirrored societal events. We see upheaval and renewal all around us.

I had been doing labor intensive, glass carving. I found it meditative. Now I had too much pent up energy. It needed release. It needed direction. This particular day, I arranged thick glass on a table, threw a rock at it to watch it crack. Its harsh melodic ring echoed through the studio. It felt exhilarating. It was no longer one large piece. It was myriad pieces with many more possibilities. It led me to opportunities I didn't then imagine.

Since then I've worked with broken and cut pieces of glass, color, enamels. glass paints. I am interested in reforming the old into the new, while retaining evidence. I use brokenness to evolve, develop, transform. It opens me to the future, lets me accept the past. It reminds me of our beginning. An incredible evolutionary process brought the earth and oceans into being. Who knows what's possible!

    Art, Glass & Life

    Hi, I'm a sculptor working primarily in glass. I look at life metaphorically. This makes glass ideal to express my ideas. This is where I'll share the nexus of art & life. I'm grateful to be part of a big community of glass lovers. I hope you're one of them. If not, I'd like to share my enthusiasm
