Reef Landscapes

Landscape Installations:
dimensions vary: 25h x 60w x 36d inches.
Works incorporate blown glass, ceramic sculptures, glazed kiln bricks, and glory hole floors. I place chemicals into the hot glass and control the melting and cooling of these materials. Spinning and dripping materials encrust the glory hole and kiln floors. I harvest these foundations and nest the vessels in them. Finished works include the environment from which they were born. They are a geological landscape of imaginary planets.
