I love coming back to the shop we're it all started for me. Solid couple days working here at Avon Glass. Back to building out the cold shop. 👐 #cambridge #glassblowing #customlighting

Sheet glass experiments playing with distortion and optics. Experimenting with collecting data and information. #workinprogress #sculpture #light #glass

This new body of work began by examining the forms created when salt water is allowed to dry on a glass slide. When light was projected through the dried salt crystals the images created represent a specific place at a specific time. Taking this information and translating through CNC technologies I am able to create complex molds for forming glass. #bullseyeprojects #bullseyeglass #glass #sculpture #cnc #3dtechnology

Another afternoon in the shop.

Using enamel to depict a drop of salt water on a glass slide. The slide was made at the @haystack_school this past fall, the images created when light passes through these slides is slowly generating a new body of work. One more step in a very long but enjoyable process. #studiotests #studiowork #sculpture #glass

Big thanks to @kimaenerson for helping me further my understanding of rhino. Working on some potential molds for a new body of work. #sculpture #glass #studio

A huge Thanks to @byronconndesign for his knowledge and expertise with these processes. His machine cutting out some new forms for new work. Playing with technology and glass. Continuing to move forward. #sculpture #glass #artandtechnology

#rhino #sculpture Very excited to see these mold forms in the physical world in the next couple days. Making some strides in rhino, knowing the complications of glass will be the next obstacle. #studioworks #glass

#rhino Practicing using rhino, thanks to @byronconndesign for the introduction. Hoping to incorporate some of these technologies into a new body of work. Learning the basics first.

New work being explored in the studio. Transitions From Line Drawings To Reliefs And Then To Sculpture.
