Many of these linear designs were inspired by drawings I did while on a plane trip. I was intrigued with the plowed fields below and drew several of them, finding the patterns very interesting and also was surprised at how I lost myself in thought while gazing at these marks left by farmers. The beauty of this unintended geometry flowed into my designs. Other sculptures in this grouping were developed from my childhood love of building blocks and kaleidoscopes.*
While the patterns I create with my glass can be compared to the abstract beauty of quilts, weavings, and farms they possess the added brilliance of glass. Finally, I love the way an idea comes forth via molten glass and is preserved for viewing and contemplation for a longer period due to these various processes. I find it serendipitous that kaleidoscope stems from Greek for beautiful shapes, as part of my heritage is rooted with ancestors from Greece
