Interdisciplinary Object Design

It's a needed blessing in a hurried world to be able to say at the end of a long day, “I did this. Here are the results''.

Strings of silicone move through forms that are constructed by lasers flowing through liquid resin and molten glass flowing through a flame. My work blends the digital and physical, the natural and man-made, the fantasy and reality. The digital realm allows me to play with space using mathematics — a universal material. The physical realm allows me to blend and form the universal elements inside of glass. As my body labors these materials, I find myself in most fluid conversation with my energetic self. ♢
