"In my blown glass work, I merge a classic Venetian sensibility with a modernist approach. Using traditional techniques in the hotshop, I layer color into the surface, but seek to deconstruct the vessel and its traditional functionality by carving away at the glass surface. I work with a definite emphasis on altered forms and vibrant colors to create strong, dramatic atmospheres. Though my design aesthetic is clean and simple, I use strong contrasts of color combined with swooping lines that destroy the functionality of the vessel to create bold, dramatic sculptures."
