My collection of photographs is as valuable to me as my sketchbook. The pictures that I take are the starting point for most of my engraved work, representing the subject and informing the composition. My intrigue with the photographed image comes from the cameras ability to very quickly record moments that would have otherwise become lost.
The transformation of a photograph into a relief engraving on glass takes a passing moment and makes it permanent in a way that reminds us of a dream or distant memory. The long and meticulous work of carving through layers of glass to reveal an image brings me intimately close to the subject and my perceived memory of the initial moment caught through the camera lens.
Here you can browse through some of the pictures that I have taken and see for yourself what informs my work. Or you can listen to more of what I have to say from a talk at Corning Museum of Glass in June of 2010
Enjoy!
