Always searching for help and meaning, I find myself creating objects of luck or solace. The alchemical process of placing glasses and in a kiln changes these glasses and metals as they fuse, an appropriate method to make work intending to talk about transformation alluding to other worlds. A kiln itself at 1500 degrees is another world where copper patterns become incased between two sheets of glass, a timeless zone free from Earth’s atmosphere which can no longer act on them with oxidization. The act of sealing objects inside a box additionally decrees a separate reality. These scenarios present unconscious questions providing no answers. The intention is to leave one pondering and not uncomfortable.

This illuminated glass sculpture is commissioned for a temple where guides lead clients on Journeys. The imagery is drawn from indigenous rainbow people who use plant medicines to reach and gain wisdom from altered states. The stylized flower on the base is the national flower of Peru and the scared flower of the Mayan. The condor is at the gateway. The colors change as the viewer moves evoking the rainbow.
Cast glass hummingbirds in bas relief fly in both directions on the back panel. A white snakeskin circles crystal ball above and in front of a dimensional cast glass Mayan pattern (aka Greek Key). The three keys signify the guide, the journeyer and the medicine. The combination of these leads to insights. This is the top part of a five foot sculpture made for an inspired temple
