Studio Practice

The way I make is guided by my training as a materials scientist, which roots my practice in a systematic understanding of material and natural phenomena. The complexity of glass as a state of matter provides further inspiration for much of my work. Within materials taxonomy, glass is defined by negation, as the glassy state exists outside the conventional categorizations of solid matter (i.e. non-equilibrium, non-crystalline, non-ergodic, etc). To know and work with glass is thus an ongoing effort to provide an affirmative definition for this elusive material.
