The idea for this installation was born initially out of a mistake. While shaping a hot molten bubble of glass, the bubble became so hot that I lost control and soon it came flowing down to the floor.

I knew instantly that this accident could be repeated with control and precision, creating forms and sculpture that is truly unique to glass.
