My goal has been to make glass fine art, not craft. I use glass as a medium of pure sculptural expression resulting in monumental sculptures of cast glass, steel and light. I have developed innovative techniques to transform my memories of the mechanized Wisconsin farm of my youth into foundry-based glass sculptures. I combine glass and steel found objects to create sculptures which also serve as studies for the large-scale sculptures.
