My Love of the Circular & Spherical
These are images of recent projects that all have a connection with the circular form.
As you will know, my work explores the use of glass as a facilitator, enhancing the image and elevating it to a new level of perceived depth, interaction and immersion. "The work itself has a complete circle of meaning and counterpoint. And without your involvement as a viewer, there is no story." ~ Anish Kapoor. This is how I feel about my work and necessity that the viewer is able to create an experience.

This is a work in progress image of a cast glass piece that creates the illusion of depth by exploiting the optical cues that we develop cognitively from a young age.
