Sculpture, installation, and performance in flameworked glass.

I use fire and glass to bring artists, educators and the public together providing environments and situations where strangers can bring deep and important aspects&nbsp;of themselves in private ways as part of larger group artworks for everyone to enjoy.<br><br>My technique of flameworking is the same type of glass-making as is used for chemistry laboratory ware. Flameworking (or lampworking) is usually associated with small-scale figurine work and bead-making. I use this technique on a huge scale to several ends: to impact and heighten the experience of the site of the work; to involve as many disparate groups in as many creative ways as possible in the research, making or bringing to fruition of a piece; and to provide enticing and encouraging environments for participants’ own narratives.<br><br>
