Artist Talk:

Artist statement: “I am endlessly fascinated by the antiquity and ruins of my surroundings. Living on Douglas Island in South East Alaska has shaped my work and sense of place. I create chandeliers, glass works and functional works of art re-using materials which would otherwise find themselves in a landfill. My ultimate goal is to transfer my vision of beauty found in discarded items, bringing our societal waste stream issues to light in re-assembled and re-imagined objects.”
