The above Medallions Installation is made of individually cast glass, each glass piece 15" and 12", and hung from the beams with electric cable, pairing the structural soundness of durable materials with more elusive and delicate elements, transforming the space into an interactive room.

My sculptural process consists of the overlapping of color, translucency and light to create a vocabulary of fragmented, repetitive forms derived from human, natural and industrial artifacts.  For the last several years, I have been creating both 2D and 3D work that explore the themes of cultural inheritance, the dislocation of time, music memory and mortality.  These cycles are memorialized in songs, stories, cast glass, metal and collaged imagery, film and symbols to create themed series of multiple installations. As exaggerated elements, or parts of the whole, each full series of work, whether it be sculptural or mixed media prints, has its own etymology rooted in personal practice.  

As installation fractions or individual pieces, with this work I strive to push the limits of translucent and dense material, that are both ephemeral and visceral, building and expanding global themes of danger and fragility and our interaction with nature and the environment.
