Sending/Receiving, 2026

​

“When I was introduced to the history and photos of the building I was drawn to the dispatch signal infrastructure itself. The physical connecting of switch boards and circuitry as communication feels so romantic when sending and receiving information happens instantly/invisibly. Particularly in this moment we are collectively feeling a lack of authentic connection. Technology meant to bring access and information to our fingertips has left us oddly isolated. Those of us who grew up without phones are spinning our tales of drink-from-the-hose, ride-bikes-till-sunset childhoods, and tech oligarch’s rocket ships are crashing into the moon. 

 

This configuration of illuminated stained glass “circuitry” is a material study of revisiting slow, deliberate connection. The tactile nature of craft creates this pace on its own. My time spent with this piece maps my own path through craft work, very literally. The green/brown glass was rescued and given to me from a damaged piece of art at Panama Pottery, the milky blue glass is from my childhood neighbor, the grids began in experimentation with kilns at Pilchuck Glass School, the deeply textured clear from a woman I had never met who is battling cancer. The skills I built to get to this finished work come from years of trying, answered messages to my glass gurus in Reno, and calls for help at 9pm to flip the long piece over to solder the other side. The call to dwell on the nature of this building, it’s physical sending of signals, has materialized my own path of connection and community through craft.”

​

"I have been working in glass for over 14 years, my practice bridges contemporary design with the historical craft of stained glass. My dad taught me when I was young, and after graduating from college it’s what I returned to, trying to find my footing in the world. 

 

Over the many years since then, I have built and refined my skills as both an artist and designer, and found family with the creative community in Sacramento. My recent work focuses on flowing geometry and abstract landscapes in glass, presented in vibrant colors and electrified by sunlight. I feel like this medium uniquely connects people with the spaces they inhabit, and I am incredibly grateful to be a forever student of it."
