This new series of works created for the Crosscut Exhibition could be viewed as a partial revival of American cut glass. Not on a scale akin to past centuries and not one created in a factory but one that connects with a new generation engaged with handmade objects that are formed in the furnace and cut at the wheel. These pieces function not as vessels to hold things but containers to hold light. They are one of a kind unique sculptures produced through a creative process of manipulating the glass both hot and cold. They are bastions of the traditions and techniques of factory cut glass while at the same time representing a new direction inspired by the intersection of geography, architecture, and industrial
design.
