Darkly
Fused, polished, and beveled black glass, silicone, steel, paint, resin
42” Dia x 4” Deep
The Claude glass, a turn of the century devise, used by naturalists and impressionistic painters to compress and heighten color, has become a recent fascination. “Darkly” is a wall-mounted sculpture that exploits this fascination. A hundred cold worked and beveled pieces of fused glass are arranged and siliconed against one another. The resulting pattern results in a bewildering confrontation, almost as if staring through an insects eye. (2012)

To Capture Everything
Broken and leaded mirror, fiber glass, resin, steel, paint
88” Dia x 15” Deep
“To Capture Everything” is as much an experience as it is a sculpture. Delicately floating on the wall, leaded shards of mirror flirt with space and light: Fragmenting, distorting, and grasping imagery. Like a glutinous child in a candy store, the convex and highly reflective surface devours light, bending and shaping luminous streams into shapes resembling the mirrored shards themselves. (2010)
