Stained Glass
Dream Home
8' x 10' (window size) | 2019–21
Temporary installation at Madison Children's Museum
This impossible “house” is a structure I’ve been collecting ideas for and building in my mind since I was a kid. I wanted viewers to stroll though the different spaces and hopefully get a little lost and turned around. The transparent and opaque glass responded to light differently depending on where viewers were standing standing (inside the museum or out) and the time of day.
I worked with stained glass almost exclusively for about four years, exploring illusions that glass can uniquely create and designing images so that the solder lines are just as important to the overall design as the glass colors.
By 2021, I began to feel that I’d done everything I had wanted to do with glass, and since then I’ve been challenging myself with other mediums.
