Architectural details and their cultural variations point the way for this body of work in blown glass. The decorative traditions of any culture tell us something about who they are (or were) and what they value and aspire to. As a designer-craftsman, I’m particularly drawn to the optimistic quality that those traditions reflect. With a jazz-like sense of improvisation, I in turn, reinterpret those qualities with mold blown, cast, cut and polished glass. Most works are one of a kind with a selection of limited production related vessels.
