Selector Statement

I’m attracted to the way these pieces celebrate the playfulness of the creative process. Inspired by real-life examples, these fictional headdresses combine handmade and found glass, which the artist enhances through thoughtful cutting and carving. They are improvisational, intuitive, and fun.
