My visual world has always been extremely important to me. Summers spent at a cottage on a lake ingrained in me a love for light and colour and glass for me is the medium which comes closest to being able to convey that love. I was a guitarist long before I built my first glass furnace and I have come to realize that making mental images of light and colour is also what I do and did as a musician. Glassblowing has always been technically quite difficult because the control parameters involve timing the work between being so hot it loses shape and so cold it cracks. A sense of time, learned as a young musician, meant that making the transition to working with molten glass in my late twenties felt natural and continues to feel like the most complete artistic expression of myself.
