| “Glass
is a very special material to work with it. It has opacity, transparency and intrinsic
beauty that are enhanced by special coatings that make it reflect or refract light
in an ever-changing dance. Crafting this beautiful medium allows the artist to
express ideas and themes and the observer to enjoy them. I relay on visual and
practical research for the designs. Natural selection dictates the final design
and makes for a unifying aesthetic while fulfilling its fundamental purpose. In
other words, if it looks good and it is useful, it is good.” “My background
is in engineering and construction, a field in which I worked for more than 40
years. This background has helped me rapidly assimilate the necessary techniques
for working with glass.” Above: Menorah
