Drawn By The Light

A lens has the power to both bring into focus and to magnify things seen and, perhaps previously, unseen. These large spherical forms feature a continuous spiral wrap of glass giving the impression of ridges found on lighthouse lenses such as the Fresnel lens. As one moves around the piece, the wrap creates optical movement, as if the piece is in motion.

Process

Living near the waters of the Pacific Northwest the beauty and lifesaving qualities of a lighthouse have long been a fascination. A beacon of light and glass that protects and guides one to a safe harbor.
