MAKERS STATEMENT
WHAT IS IT TO BE A MAKER? FOR ME IT IS WHAT I DO. AS A JOB, AS A HOBBY, AND AS A COMPULSION. WHEN I MAKE SOMETHING, I ALREADY CANT WAIT TO MAKE THE NEXT THING AND APPLY WHAT I HAVE LEARNED THROUGH MY FAILURES. PROCESS AND TECHNIQUE ARE VERY IMPORTANT IN MY WORK, BUT I CONSIDER THEM EQUAL WITH CONCEPTS AND IDEAS. SOMETIMES THOUGH, GLASS BLOWING IS GLASS BLOWING TO ME AND I AM CONTENT WITH FOCUSING ON CRAFT AND I AM ABLE TO LEAVE CONCEPTUAL IDEAS ALONE. BECAUSE OF THESE PREVIOUS CHARACTERISTICS ABOUT HOW I MAKE WORK, THERE ARE A VARIETY OF THINGS REPRESENTED IN THESE GALLERIES. I HOPE YOU TAKE THE TIME TO ENJOY SOME OF THE THINGS I HAVE MADE AND RELISH IN THE THINGS YOU DON’T ENJOY. SOMETIMES WHAT YOU DON’T LIKE SAYS MORE ABOUT YOU THAN WHAT YOU FIND PLEASING.
