Bolt

I installed this window in an abandoned building in Portland, OR. I made the window with broken glass from the building along with other salvaged glass, and antique and hand blown glass. The image is a suitcase with a rocket ship on it, the word “Bolt” and two lightning bolts.

Darling

I was experimenting with painting on glass and silver leaf for this window. I used primarily clear glass, and was inspired by chain link and barbed wire urban imagery.

Acavallo

This glass was created for Acavallo, an art project envisioned by Quill Hyde for Burning Man in 2007. See a video of the carousel in action.

Horizon Lines

Using salvaged medical lenses, I made this faceted eye to distort perspective. When looking at the horizon line (which is meant to be steadfast), the lenses create a dynamic line.

One Arm Red: Artist Residency

This was a four month long artist residency in the DUMBO neighborhood in Brooklyn. I received a free studio space and the opportunity to create an installation, and show my work to the public. My work focused on the sacred in wild, urban spaces. I worked with breaking glass and soldering the unpredictable fractures back together. It was a way to capture a spontaneous and random moment in time. The glass rocket ship was made using these “captured fractures”. The installation included a stenciled wall (where barbed wire and chain link became an ornate pattern), live sod on the brick floor, a swing, chandelier, inter-active sculpture and glass rocket ship.

Fractures

These circles are 3 feet across. The window was broken by dropping a window weight from the ceiling onto the glass. I liked the unpredictability of the break and the pattern created by repairing it. We filmed the process of breaking the glass and exhibited the window alongside the video.

Unexpected

These two windows play with presentation and content. Upon quick glance, they seem friendly and traditional, but with closer inspection, the real content is revealed.
