Luminous Color
Luminous color occurs in the shifting light over the horizon at the ocean. A memory of light at the beach, a resonant echo of the history of art and architecture is what I’m hoping to capture. An essence of these ephemeral things inspires the colors and design of my goblets. They act as vessels for spirit and recollection.
My process employs lost-wax casting, a Bronze Age technique capable of preserving detail as intimate as fingerprints. Forms are first modeled in wax, then cast in glass. I am a fourth-generation participant in the Studio Glass movement, shaped by artists such as Harvey Littleton and Dale Chihuly, who made it possible for artists to work with glass in their own studios—transforming it from an industrial material into a medium of personal expression.
