I create works in glass that are designed to challenge perception, using a nontraditional form: glass threads. My practice involves creating a unique palette of glass threads, which are cut into tiny pieces, layered, and then manipulated in the kiln to make artworks that address questions of self-determination, permanency, and perception. I play with scale, texture, spatial orientation, and the intrinsic attributes of glass, in order to explore how we perceive our lives and the life around us.
