“Ghost Mirrors”

I began using Églomisé in 2001 to make a series of sculptures relating to literary works I was studying at the time. Eugene O’Neill in his famous “Long Days Journey Into Night” employed the backdrop of “Fog” as a literary device dealing with themes like uncertainty, identity,perception, and obfuscation. I saw many parallels in the process and use of mirrors. As a Sculptor with a heavy background in metal and glass I naturally wanted to show both materials in a new way working together. As a painter I also wanted to use my lifelong technical training in oil painting in a new way through the lens of glass as a material. I have developed a language of Hardware and Glass that is unique and often copied. The unorthodox and experimental patinas used on the brackets and hardware are each unique and change with each season and project. While older styles are usually available for commission, new finishes and unique glass treatments are always at the forefront of the next piece. This assures that yours is a one of a kind artwork that will never be duplicated.
