I enjoy creating movements in my designs. It heightens interest, often as a surprise element.
I start with studying sheets of glass. The only control I have is selecting areas I find interesting.
If I introduce flame working, my influence extends into form and color.
This is one of my favorite examples. It’s in a series of four windows about 32″x 20″ in height. The theme of the four windows is the wind blowing through winter vines, releasing the last of leaves and berries.
The overall effect is that my art has a presence of both far away and near as one moves around the room.
