  • as portraiture of individuals or society.

  • about creating a work

  • that would be responding to different objects from their permanent collection.

  • interpretation of objects essentially.

  • permanent now.

  • The actual process of making the glass is very

  • fleeting and elusive.

  • Every moment that you're working in the material you're capturing a moment in time

  • so it does speak

  • to this vanitas tradition in still-life. and the ideas that I am most

  • interested in. It's really a portrait of myself
