My recent sculptures and vessels are expressions of ongoing life experiences and changes. Nature is always a part of these expressions and my reflections on these changes have resulted in deep bas relief art, with tactile shapes in iridized glass and sensual textures that almost demand to be felt.

I construct these deep reliefs by layering many sheets of glass on top of one another and then firing them, often multiple times, to shape them into dynamic forms that seem to ripple and move.

To me, this reflects the layering of losses and opportunities in life, with the kinds of freshness and revival that life can bring, as it leaves and loses and adds. And nature always envelopes this deep layering expression. It also suggests the layering of experiences that we hope will become part of a new whole.
