Cold work is a sculpting process. Structured cuts run deep into the glass to sculpturally expose textured facets. These unconventional work processes intentionally destroy the shape of the blank with asymmetrically raised cuts juxtaposed against deep stone wheel cut grooves and lenses.
Through the transparency, textures and surfaces an almost chaotic visual ensemble emerges which vibrates and resonates to reveal my inner turmoil and love for the unknown.
