Much of my work represents markers of conflict – silent messages that may elicit a feeling of melancholia or disquiet.
These works are made with concerns for exploring the potential of the materials and the process – the chemical bond of glass on metal. It is the inherent qualities of this material that attracts me at a sensory and aesthetic level.
