Glassworks

In 2001, I began combining sand-blasted glass with photography. It was a way to translate my visual experience, where clarity is not always found.

A second objective was to marry image and object. I wanted to consider glass as an object in and of itself.

Typically glass (or acrylic) serves as the protective layer over an image, it is something we take for granted, look through and past to see something else.

I began to view the glass as a symbol for how the mind perceives or interprets life. The glass was like a filter.

Finally I want to approach presenting space as vertical planes. All of these ideas came to me on my daily winter walks, and sand-blasting specifically came from looking at snow, ice and water.
