Dexter Glass - work that combines flameworked and blown glass components. Sometimes internal light is added to create a unique piece. Metal structures help to unite the glass components. Often recovered materials are used as elements in the assembly.
Many recent pieces explore future combinations of biology and technology. Methods of propagation are suggested when the contents of a creature's body are strewn onto the ground or leak from a pierced side.
Some pieces are purely abstract and explore the power of glass to refract light and utilize layers that contain frozen movement and color.
See the gallery for Dexter Glass Too, where I create jewelry from flameworked beads.
