"My sculptures are created from combinations of glass, steel, stone, and wood. The glass portions of the sculptures utilize the `pate de verre' glass-casting process; a clay or wax form is sculpted, a refractory mold is made of the form, the mold is placed in an annealing oven, and glass is melted/filled in the mold. I fabricate the steel portions from mild and/or stainless steel which is torch or plasma cut, ground, welded, and sandblasted. Finishes on the steel are selenic acid and/or ferric chloride based, with a hot beeswax and linseed oil final treatment. The cast glass elements and sandstone, quartzite, slate, and granite components are cut, ground, and shaped to fit the steel portions. " - Sally Rogers
