Artist's
Statement
There
is something both dramatic and dynamic about the manipulation
of a molten mass of glass, such that the process has almost
as much appeal for me as does the product. Hot glass is a
medium in constant motion, where balance, timing and rhythm
are the essential tools in the process. Once you start, you
can’t stop until it’s done, and after more than
twenty years in glass, I’ve conceded that it is the glass
that is really in control, as much as I would like to think
other wise.
My work is successful if the people whose
lives it becomes a part of derives some satisfaction from
it’s beauty and a sense of mystery as to how it evolved.
