My earlier fascination with visual and emotional effects of light and color through photography and painting has further evolved in my cold-working glass sculptures. The joy of cold-working comes from the hand processes that transform layers of optic and dichroic glass and salt-damaged Old Lighthouse Lenses.

Techniques include sawing, hand grinding, laminating, using water, abrasives and lapidary tools. Concave curves are unique to my cold worked glass. As I grind I allow the glass to create its own juxtapositions of tone, mood, and form. I pause and view changes as I work, moving to another plane when satisfied with the balances and contrasts. The result enables the viewer to experience the full color spectrum and range of emotions from yellow serenity to orange high energy, from blue remoteness and cold to red enveloping and warmth, from purple restless to green soothing.
