Sculpture
2016-ongoing
Over the last few years, I have been experimenting in glass casting, and, more recently, built sculptural forms. This work revolves around my exploration of plastics, often based on my photographs. In this case, bubble wrap and plastic bottles were the impetus of the pieces. In the glass pieces, I was envisioning the bottles as diving into or emerging from the ocean, becoming part of marine life.
