I believe that we humans have a primal need for both light and color – hence the invention of the luminous tube. In my work I am continually fascinated by the processes involved in working with glass – the idea that I can change the shape of something that is seemingly inert and fragile and then turn it into a bright, colorful light is astonishing! Illuminating everyday objects and twisting glass into freeform shapes adds a bit of whimsy to a world that is often in need of a little surprise.
