My recent artwork explores the human experience through imagery related to utility and infrastructure. The objects I find myself focused upon are all things that have revolutionized the world, become ubiquitous and then been taken for granted. I make these objects to reevaluate the appreciation that we have lost for some of the most ingenious inventions in history. Through these works I hope to reveal the ways in which we all strive for greatness in the presence of our own inevitable obscurity.

The challenge of rendering these ideas in glass, charges these objects with an additional layer of meaning that encompasses the history and evolution of very rich craft tradition. A lot of my processes are a culmination of years of research and it is at the intersection between the process at hand and the individual piece’s gestural qualities where my own interest in a particular idea is fostered and formed.
