My intention with the ice is to harness its movement and transience, within the fluid yet permanent nature of glass.
The ice is eroded and sculpted with salt then cast into glass, capturing a moment in time as the ice is melting. This thawing of ice provides a physical time frame to work within, heightening the importance of artistic judgment and decision-making.
Inspired by architectural materials and tools, the forms contradict the fluid irregular surface. Creating my own ice age weaponry and structures. with a softer internal landscape when viewed up close.
I have a fascination with turning one thing into another, the reaction of materials and energies acting upon each other. This direct approach provides an energetic spontaneous working method and creative mindset. This energy lives on within the work, giving a sense of progression and evolution within a solid permanent form.
