About the Item

ABOUT THE PROCESS The fruit is produced in blown glass, which is then cold worked to achieve the cuts and the installing of the clothing closures and other mixed media. The color is a result of the use of powdered pigment which is added to the layers of glass during the shaping in the hot glass shop. The process gives depth to the color as it sits between the layers of glass. The effect is skin-like, similar to the way natural pearls have depth and an orient of light. The cuts are made using diamond impregnated dental tools and a jeweler's drill. This essentially sands and grinds the surface away by increments. The process is time consuming but results in precise complex cuts on the three dimensional surface which would not be possible by any other method. ARTIST STATEMENT My series of surrealist figurative fruit combines imagery drawn from traditional still life paintings and figure sculpture. The pairing of materials, that are both organic and industrial, illustrates my fascination with the rough edges of human nature and the physical body. I refer to these works a figurative because although they literally embody the shape of pears and peaches, they imply physical and emotional humanity. Exquisite exaltation and agony often exist together in response to the processes of life and are far more than the sum of the their discordant parts. My illustrations of these conditions employ the fruit as personification. Glass is chosen for its sensual surface, with added industrial elements such as zippers or hardware that are utilized as an embellishment. The objects further imply a dual identity, as a first glance, the objects appear to be enticing and simply conventionally beautiful. This seduction is imperative as the viewer further examines the pieces and a more specific psychology is revealed. By visually combining the organic with the imposed, the soft and the hard, the natural and the commercial, a conceptual transformation takes place. My objective is to elicit recognition of corporeal and emotional conditions that are unsettling, erotic, humorous, enticing, or a combination of these things.
