Artist Statement:

The Industrial Sculpture Story

I spontaneously began creating this body of sculptures in kiln formed glass and up-cycled industrial parts while a student in the Periscope: Artist Entrepreneur Training Program. I view this collection as a result of a combination of the self-examination exercises, my observations of the stunningly rapid transformation of my hometown and prevailing narratives about progress.  Each piece is my expression of the importance of balancing our growing need for built environments with honoring our identity of place and the beauty of our resources, both organic and inorganic.
