The basic underlying thematic element of my work is the concept of light and time. An infinite universe, we are granted a finite amount of time, a set-up that seems to be designed and regimented by the amount of light (day) or lack there of (night). By trying to incorporate both elements, be it through the use of shape or color association, I'm looking to define a space that contradicts these parameters of light and dark in association with a beginning and an end. Much like life, glass operates within these same parameters of completion. The beauty of glass is its cool timelessness while the creation of it is a hot, intensive commitment of a set time in which to work the molten glass. I strive to create a classic piece that is flexible to its surroundings and light rather than defining them itself.
