Untitled 3
A knitted glass sculpture on a circular black base. A metal ladder reaches out from the center of the base, the rungs and inside of the ladder illuminated with LED lights. Pouring out from the base and entangling upwards, almost trapping the ladder within its cage, is a knitted black material.

I work in glass sculpture. During the pandemic I felt myself trapped. My work in knitted glass became cage-like, with interior spaces as metaphor for shelter. I began working with LED lighting, having illuminated objects being contained within a cage - the cage of social distancing during the pandemic. The light inside was me, trapped, but projecting optimism out into the world. I wanted to concentrate on the interior light projecting optimism out through the "trap" and transforming it - as light does to glass. --Label design by exhibit curator Nancy DeJoy.
