It is critical to my existence to make things with my hands, using real material. Ideas of making and meaning, investigated during my time at the Cranbrook Academy of Art, inform my professional practice working in kilnformed glass.The Tapestry pieces are inspired by repetitive rows in fields of grain and hand-woven fabrics. They are composed of linear patterns of glass strands creating intricate fiber-like textures. Patterned sheets made with glass threads are cut, layered, and kiln formed.
