Curious…
My work in glass is rooted in an enduring fascination with home, not merely as a physical structure, but as an evolving vessel of memory, emotion, and identity. I approach the built form as something more than architecture; to me, it is a container for lived experience, shaped as much by presence as by absence.
Through glass, I explore how we perceive space, and how that perception is altered by memory, longing, and personal history. Glass, with its ability to both reveal and obscure, to protect and expose, becomes a perfect metaphor for the way we experience home: always partially seen, never entirely grasped.
My practice draws from real-life encounters. Years of working closely with people as they built, bought, or let go of homes gave me a deep understanding of the uniquely personal narratives that each space holds. Every decision… why one stays, leaves, or chooses a new place to call home, speaks to the intimate and often unspoken relationships we have with space.
In my art, I attempt to romanticize these quiet, deeply human stories by translating them into form. Windows, walls, thresholds, these become symbolic elements in my work, simultaneously literal and metaphoric. They mark the points where perception, memory, and material reality intersect.
My work has explored physical spaces that I’ve inhabited, experienced & lived, just as much as spaces I’ve imagined. With some works exploring homes of my ancestors, which I’ve personally never encountered, but hold within their walls the history of my ancestors. Understanding the relationship between people and the physical spaces we inhabit, not only the houses, but also the landscapes we place ourselves in.
Ultimately, my work seeks to invite reflection on the spaces we inhabit and the invisible imprints we leave behind. Each piece asks: What does it mean to belong somewhere? How do spaces remember us, and how do we remember them?
