My glass art involves solid glass sculpture. I often employs a technique known as "sand-casting." Very hot molten glass at 2300° F is gathered from the furnace with a cast iron ladle and poured into a mold of moist sand and clay. This produces an object with a rough, almost primitive texture. I find unlimited possibilities in objects that have served their useful lives and have been discarded. To embellish these with sand-casted glass forms causes them to take on new meaning entirely.
