My current work focuses on fused & slumped glass wall sculptures that can be hung in a variety of venues as well as Photographic Light Boxes where my HQ photographs can be printed directly onto the glass panels . These large scale fused wall creations are composed of fused glass made out of a variety of colours segments forming a strong sense of balance & harmony to the space. The segments alone are very simple, yet together form a more complex chain that fits naturtally together. The Colour Wall Series sculptures are typically made up of linear lines, with variations at different angles as well as sections that are rectangular, forming a harmonic pattern that fits naturally with in the whole.
The Retro Mesh series discuss the positive and negative spaces and how this interaction of such space really mirrors our existence in a more atomic level. We understand that all solids have voids where atoms float in “space” forming the shape; thus, the “ Mesh” pattern here reflects a similar concept. The combination of a wide variety of colours also forms a delicate balance while adding a dynamic element to each piece sort of a vibration that is in Balance. These are extremely power and vivid glass creations.
My current projects will consist of these large scale “Retro Mesh” pieces and the linear bent “Colour Wall Series” pieces to be exhibited at a various of Galleries as well as the Interior Design Show in Toronto and Art Expo / Architectural Digest Shows in NYC. Creating large scale fused glass sculptures pushes the limit for studio made glass; therefore, developing a new market in the commercial and hospitality industry. The scale of these creations makes them even more unique and aids in the elevation of the “Fused Glass Art Form” internationally. With more public exposure to these large fused glass sculptures, I aim to help revitalize the glass craft movement towards a different sector of industry beyond and including the traditional fine Craft Gallery market.
My other creative passion is Photography which enables me to explore interesting countries and document the People, Culture and History into images that can help Us understand what I see in my mind and portray in my emotions in the final image. Photography as turned into a way to communicate visually many of my thoughts and feelings of Humanity, Society and where we are going into spectacular scenes. As I grow & age, I can revisit some of the locations from my past travels & re shoot the same scene in a different time, adding to this element of constant movement and evolution. My photo library contains more than 22,000 images of people, places, objects, architecture, genres and travel depictions....Please contact me with any needs & requirements for any of your artistic / photographic needs.
