there is something very appealing about coaxing fluidity and expression from rocks and glass, and assembling apparently unrelated pieces to form a single comprehensible idea.

my work, as well as work experience, is most harmonious to me when i achieve a sense of ordered unity from such chaos, and when i am in accord with seemingly rigid and unyielding base materials. may this harmony be reflected in my work.
