Artist Statement:
With actively living both
north and south of the border for the past seventeen years, comes
the constant crossing of that omnipresent line of realities at
the 49th parallel. And with that now, comes a yearning... for
a "forever lost, more innocent past." Conceptually,
this informs the mixed media glass piece titled "BORDER."
Inherent characteristics of glass
such as transparency and fragility are an ideal platform for
visual commentary that I have been struggling with for a number
of years in other mediums, all of which have involved an element
of photography, speaking of memory and moment.
Since attending Pilchuck in 2008,
I have fully embraced the integration of the photographic image
within the space of layered flat glass as a means of conceptual
conveyance, in that it allows me to not only stratify but also
somewhat dimensionalize my thoughts in a visual manner that is
relative and interesting for me. |
