"As I begin building up a 'Reefscape' I imagine I am rebuilding a coral
colony after a violent ocean storm. The powerful waves crash relentlessly
into jagged cliffs scouring the cracks, pockets, and pools of the tiny
marine organisms. I hold that vacant tide pool on the end of a steel rod
as a molten blob of glass, and as I add lively glass colors and sea forms,
I imagine the harmonious balance returning; the tide pool is once again
replete with life! Glass is special to me. I have found no other medium
that gives me the freedom to bring to life even my most fantastic
imaginings." |
