About the Work

This began with a simple idea: I wanted glass that looked like a galaxy. Since the glass I envisioned didn't exist, I decided to create it myself.

Using kiln-fusing techniques, I experimented with layering different colors and forms of glass to create my own galaxy-inspired elements that I couldn't achieve with traditional sheet glass alone. I also incorporated phosphorescent materials into the fused glass, allowing portions of the piece to absorb light and glow in the dark, trying to recreate the appearance of a galaxy illuminated against the night sky.

These handmade elements were then incorporated into the stained glass composition using the traditional copper foil method.

Poppy Dreams was the piece that started my fascination with creating galaxy-inspired glass, an exploration that continues to influence my work today.
