Not flat, not round, my work might be called glass relief. I’m happy in the rich, associative world of recycled glass and other found objects. I'm focused on that most conventional quality of glass, its transparency.

Since 1967 I’ve worked as a carpenter. Before that I was an architectural draftsman. I’ve been doing glass since 1979. If there is consistency in what I make it is in the re-use of old stuff. I’m interested in the richness of shape and texture of glass produced by slumping and fusing. I’m doing glass that can be shown on interior walls and doesn’t need strong backlighting. This wall mounted glass is supported by armatures of wood or brass. I’m interested in light, structure, line, texture, balance, and color in that order. I also do panels for windows and commissions.

For most of my working life I relied on carpentry. Although I have sold glass and done commissions, I never relied on glass for support. There's freedom in that. And I like to make things that amuse me and possibly entertain others. I like things that are funny. If my glass makes someone laugh, that's good.
