Glass: Lampworked glass sculptures and functional stemware

The technique called `Lampworking`, is the art of creating sculpture using glass tubing and rods heated from a torch. Using high temperature glass called borosilicate (pyrex), I create both large and small scale sculpture. Many of my ideas derive from myth and biblical stories, creating analogies between ideas, words, heart and actions. I believe that this vocabulary of archetypal images exist in all of us, like seeds of ancient shared understanding, each viewer comprehending this unconscious language.
