Kiln formed, cold worked glass

My work has a number of features for which I strive, regardless of the design, size or application. Painterly in effect, all my works are made entirely of glass with no paints, stains or enamels used. The design elements are complex and time consuming to create, but from their complexity I attempt to produce inviting images which allow endless visits. Each time the eye can commence a journey from a different point. Neither I as the maker nor the viewer need ever be bored.
This piece reflects 25 years of evolution of technique and design. It demonstrates the eclectic nature of my art, employing complex visual vocabulary to express a peaceful and contemplative painting in glass. I do not proscribe the meaning of my work, but the title tends to provide some clues.
