The visual pathway evolved in a pre-glazed world and the cues that we use to orient ourselves reflect that history. In this context, the transparent, reflective and magnifying qualities of glass are entirely paradoxical and generate compelling and disorienting illusions. The material is wonderfully permeable and mobile, literally drawing the viewer, their companions and the environment into the creative process.
My work explores the dialogue between perception and experience, internal and external spaces, working with light and shade to consider where the object begins and ends.
