New work exploring the structural properties of glass, contained in and containing narrow wood frames. These pieces are often suspended, and move light and colour around a room, as they rotate on a room’s air movement.
Working closely with another artist is a balancing act that repays many times the effort to make it work. A lot of an artist’s life is solo time in the studio, so regularly working together with another can bring many plusses. There is a creative energy that is often greater than the sum of two […]
For several years now, my work has included working for architects and interior designers, creating large scale installations for various commercial spaces such as restaurants, hotels and the communal areas of condominium buildings.
