About the artist
 
"Texture and density: the stuff of art, the stuff of life.  I’m a texture junkie.  Two dimensions aren’t enough for me. That’s what draws me to mosaic as an art form, and in particular to the dangerous topography of raw-edged glass.  It’s not particularly friendly work - I go through a lot of band-aids, and caution you to touch at your own risk – but it yields satisfyingly complex results unachievable by any other means. I work primarily in glass because of its incredible ranges of color, opacity, reflectivity, and of course texture. Every surface of glass, including the occasionally striated riven edge, offers up new possibilities for visual density, especially when layered over and against itself in varying heights. Using mirror as a substrate allows me to experiment with how light passes through and bounces back through multiple layers of glass, and also allows me to insert unexpected hits of “glow” into fields of opaque material.  The move to combining glass with opaque materials such as unglazed porcelain was inevitable and irresistible:  the fall-into-me depth of one enhances the unyielding opacity of the other, and vice versa." - Kelley Knickerbocker
