"My work involves process driven creation using repetition and manipulation of simple forms. Through delicate and natural transactions during the glass making process, I create painterly compositions by manipulating minimal forms. The forms selected subtly reference femininity but through viral repetition create compositions that reference natural phenomenon, tension, and accrual. This results in a delicate balance between soft organic shapes and menacing forms in a tactile lair of siren-like imagery. I am interested in creating compositions that are beautifully inviting yet have a corporeal intangibility that is also repelling.
From a distance the evocative form and pallet lure the viewer into treacherous lairs of dangerous beauty."
