Through the corporeal act of blowing glass it is inevitable that each piece embodies a small act of personal growth. A Lot of the work explores my place as an Italian American in a rich legacy of historically Italian techniques and breaking free from the confines of tradition. In reinventing processes, I end up processing myself and use glass as a canvas to communicate that deep self-exploration.

My blown forms are minimal as to highlight the tumultuous, woven patterns that writhe under the façade. These designs give a sense of continuous movement and perpetual growth that we as humans can relate to. I enjoy the arduous pattern making process of cane and murrini as it takes a lot of careful planning. Much like arranging music it can take days or weeks to blend individual colors and tones until the right rhythm is achieved.
