Sculpture+and+Ceramics

This is a piece I created while doing a study with umbrellas. I used the umbrella's textured surface to my advantage so that text wasn't as needed through out the piece. The pieces of flag fabric represent the "road" traveled to space, which then flows through space and back to earth. The piece is an extension of a painting I created a year earlier.

**Circle through the Seasons**

Circle through the Seasons is a twelve piece abstract glass sculpture. The sculpture took shape over a 2 month period. Over that time I learned the processes of cutting glass, as well as painting on glass, a reversal process. The piece is a combination of all seasons whether largely portrayed or simply added here and there. The piece is a mixed media featuring guache and acrylic on glass, as well as barbed wire and barn wood.

**Abstract Afghan Woman** Abstract Afghan Woman is currently an "Untitled", multimedia piece. It is constructed of clear and frosted glass that is enriched with 24K liquid gold, that was fired at a cone 4. It is then mounted on a 18"x 26" solid oak board using quick steele.

This sculpture is an idea of organic vs. geometric that turned purely abstract in the end. there are a variety of textures and glazes that were used to get the over all look of the piece as a finished whole.
 * Land and Sea**



**Untitled** This is a piece that is in progress. It is a double half circle sculpture that I have created from a solid form and cut layers out to give an abstract approach tot he use of a circle. It is the beginning of a series of abstract carved forms that I'm currently working on. More pictures will be posted soon!
