Artist’s Statement
As a maker of hollowware, I use properties of the metal: the plasticity, the permanence and the dimensionality. As an enamelist, I use properties of the glass: the preciousness, the surface qualities and the color. In my work these properties function together to make a whole, with the two materials complementing and completing each other, rather than one being visually more important than the other. I find enameled containers to be eloquent of a compelling blend of self-containment, secrecy and preciousness.
