Lighted Glass Sculpture
The beauty and energy of light is my passion, the preeminent focus and subject of my work. My lighted glass sculptures are inspired by my desire to capture the ephemeral beauty of nature. I'm particularly entranced by the sexual amplitude of flowers with their caverns of color and their petal perfect iridescence. The sea also holds exotic jewels of fluid grace, where life forms such as anemones appear as translucent flowers. I see myself as a vessel for light, filled with reflections from the sun and the moon, enchanted by how reflective light can turn dewdrops into sparkling diamonds. I am driven by the energies of light, for it's endless variations of form. With electricity, I charge noble gasses such as Neon, Argon, Krypton and Xenon, illuminating my glass forms to evoke their life force. Glass, translucent and reflective, contains the light, revealing their form and energy in unexpected ways. Thus, my passion is made visible as jewels of light in glass.
