I enjoy working with glass because it has tremendous potential to inspire the viewer using color and refraction of light. Glass can be sculpted—thick and strong—or be very flat against a wall providing the illusion of depth. It can be illuminated or reflect existing light. It can be abstract, or silkscreened with photographic precision. Glass is surprisingly durable, the color will never fade, it is easy to clean, and it is as scratch resistant as most materials including ceramics, aluminum, and stainless steel. With thoughtful placement, glass sculpture is an attractive and viable material for public art.
