Artist's Statement

The bowls in the Small Reflections series offer a treat for the eye. My objects are based on the concept of the hollow turned vessel, where there is a small opening at the top of the bowl and the design flows outward from there. Deep inside, nestled in its small saucer at the bottom of the vessel, lay a dazzling circular piece of dichroic glass, that reflects an image as you peer inside - "eye candy". I want to make nonfunctional pieces that create form to reveal the beauty and sensuousness of the wood. Wood is so appealing - to the touch, to the eye.
