“ In the Igneous series, I am interested in subverting the traditional glassmaking techniques that I have spent a lifetime learning and finding ways to make engaging objects through naïve processes. Each of these vessels is blown before it is smashed, bent, flexed and folded in order to give each piece it’s unique form.”
