I developed this idea from a digital sketchbook I maintain and develop nightly. (Very few of the sketches make it into production.)

I developed this idea from a digital sketchbook I maintain and develop nightly. (Very few of the sketches make it into production.) I started backward from the two-dimensional image, and developed a series of steps to create the various elements of the design. This process included cutting out the background shape from plywood, sealing and painting. I then extruded black polymer clay borders and topped with copper mosaic strips. Each section was then filled with rolled out yellow polymer clay. Blue stained glass was cut into each shape and layered on top, with polymer clay extruded and edging each piece. White and red glass was kiln fused into peppermint stripe pieces. Fuchsia clay dots were topped with glass gems, and wire wrapped and curled. After assembling and firing, the whole project was poured with epoxy resin to fix the pieces in place.
Designed in 2020, this project was a visual expression of the molecular images of the disease in the news that year. I think it also captures the sense of being separated from each other by the “borders,” or the walls of our homes during lockdown. These borders can also evoke a sort of electoral map. I love to work in bold colors but I would say that the colors from the projects this particular year were especially bold. These are some of my favorite projects I have ever made.

I trained in painting and architecture at RISD and Tulane without gaining an art degree. I started making mosaics in 1995, and since there was very little if any access to formal training, I was entirely self-taught. Since that time, I have moved away from classical mosaics to more contemporary styles, methods and materials. 

After a day in the studio, I spend an hour or two every evening working creating and developing a sketchbook of visual ideas. Only a select few make it into production. I start backward from the two-dimensional image, and develop a series of steps to create the various elements of the design. Each project integrates layered surfaces, borders, and textures, and so involves multiple techniques and media. The process for each project is unique and will usually implement a method that is new to me. For example, I have included a wide variety of stained and patterned glass, glass cane, fused glass, different kinds of sheet metal, wire, found metal, metal leaf, polymer clay, clay cane, glass beads, shattered tempered glass, lenticular sheets, and many other media.
