Conceptually, the work explores desire and aspiration as forces that build slowly over time. What begins as attraction can turn into excess, as transparency gives way to opacity. By making glass heavy, the work reflects how longing and indulgence accumulate, shaping identity and experience in ways that are both seductive and uneasy.
Gravity of Desire | Glass | 11.5 x 11.5 x 15 inches | 2026
For this exhibition, I work with glass for its natural qualities of transparency, fragility, and attraction, but I am interested in what happens when these expectations are pushed. I begin with familiar glass objects that already carry memory — of use, pleasure, and desire. Through repetitive hand-applied glass beadwork, I gradually alter their surface and weight, shifting glass from something light and transparent into something dense and resistant. Rather than transforming the material through heat, I work with time, touch, and accumulation, allowing labour to guide the final form. In this process, glass retains its fragility while gaining physical and visual weight.
