MAPPING
The layered panels are a continuing investigation into place and place making. The thick panels are comprised of multiple layers of transparent and opaque glass and glass powders that are kilnformed to create surface relief and texture. The surfaces are ground and cold worked to expose layers in much the same way as the surface of the earth is eroded, graded and cut to expose materials below the surface. The resultant panels evoke images of maps, topography and geology.
