My work is based on the re-invention of old-world techniques in the design of modern objects. I specialize in fusing and blowing glass mosaic into vessel forms. I hand make all of the elements of these designs, the canes, murrines, blocks and tiles that are fused to form the core of the vessels. This technique imparts distinctive textures to the glass that add to the color effects. It is important to me to maintain the transparency of the glass, the property that makes it so unique. As the light passes through the vessel blending colors, patterns and textures from all sides, it highlights the space inside, the essence of the vessel form.
