FUSION GLASS

“I’ve chosen glass as my medium because it is so dynamic; the finished art is always changing. Daylight through a window transforms translucent red into gold, intensifies blues and reveals the complexity of browns. Clear bevels fracture a sunbeam into a rainbow. Room light bounces off an opaque sculpture; the patterns on transparent bowls are mirrored on the table. This interplay of light and medium is also what mesmerizes me as I look at nature’s patterns, particularly the trees in the Pretty River Valley. In my designs, by choosing glass of varying intensity, colour and texture; and by manipulating the glass at molten temperatures, I try to replicate the movement and chameleon nature of the world around me. ”
