ARTIST STATEMENT
“Color is my day-long obsession, joy, and torment.” - Claude Monet
“Colors are forces, radiant energies that affect us positively or negatively, whether we are aware of it or not.” - Johannes Itten
Since graduation from the College for
Creative Studies in 2006, three
themes have emerged in my more
recent work:
1. An exploration of color enabled by dimensional form, 2. An absolute fascination with the land art of the 1970s,
and
3. The role of process and chance in the creation of
visual complexity.
This website illustrates these three “creative imperatives” in the form of new glass sculptures created during the last two-three years.
Check out especially the new 12 Cubes on Mars” (above), the “Cut Cube” Series and “Archeological Series” (right). “Blue Cut Cube - Winter” was featured on the cover of the April 2014 Art and Antiques Magazine -- see web reference below:
http://www.artandantiquesmag.com/2014/04/glass-artists/.
“Red Cut Cube - Autumn”, shown opposite is the latest creation in the “Four Seasons Series”
“Artifact No.2, Dover: Flint and Chalk”, and “Ancient One” are just to the right here. Click on these pictures to see more of this newest series. Both these new series can be seen under the “Series” tab.
Also, Look for me at my One Man Show April 28-August 12 at the Univerrsity of Michigan - Dearborn, Stamelous Gallery.
