STILL LIFE SERIES

I call these new sculptures in iron and glass Still Lifes because they
represent a reaction I have concerning a placement of craft objects
in our modern-day society. I try to use materials in a challenging and
opposing manner: glass tablecloths, steel plant stems, glass flowers.
and aluminum shadows. I also finish the glass vessel in a way that
makes it appear to be ceramic or stone.

I enjoy playing with the juxtaposition of the different elements
used in the sculpture in an attempt to give them a feeling of being
precariously balanced. If a group of objects, such as a vase with
a flower sitting on a table, is slightly off balance, it evokes an
unsettling response from the viewer. I try to develop this feeling
in the viewers and try to get them to stop and think for a moment.
