Grand Floral Study

Glass sculpting and drawing are at the center of my work, resulting in artworks on the verge of both disciplines. Where does the drawing end and the sculpture begin? I wish my drawings to imply depth and space, and volumes to contributes to the composition of images. Glass’ essential qualities — plasticity, transparency, and ability to diffract light are at the heart of my work, as well as its symbolic significance which echoes in the subject of my drawings : flora and the language it becomes, floriography. Both praxis balance each other : drawing is as quiet, slow and solitary as hot glass sculpting is a heated, fast-paced team effort; two dimensional images and three dimensional objects of similar form converse. Emotions and experiences are rendered as detailed floral compositions intertwining techniques and dimensions.
