Selected work
Animals, figures, and gods.
Three subjects returned again and again: creatures, human figures, and deities from two traditions that rarely share a shelf.
At the torch
Solid figures, drawn in the flame.
This is not blown glass. The rod is held in the flame until it softens, then drawn and shaped by hand — no moulds, no castings, so no two pieces are ever alike.
