Artist Statement - Rapt Fyre
I love fire’s metamorphosis, the cool feel of glass in my hand, the sinuous visual of the wire wrapped beads. Sharing the vision with my customers is a joy. Fire and wire have been passions for me. To connect them with glass and wrapping is just the best.
I love fire and have done since the age of 17 when I started making pottery. But then at the age of 55 my pottery business partner introduced me to the process of making glass beads. It was a brief play-time away from clay and kilns. It changed my life. Four years ago I put down roots in Tucson, Arizona, with my studio space only a delightful few steps away. My beads, lampwork (effetre), are born within the flame of a bench torch, mashed, rolled, dotted and streaked, and annealed in a kiln. Once cooled, they are woven and wrapped in metals such as aluminum, copper and silver. I produce earrings, bracelets, necklaces, but predominately pendants. Fire and wire have been passions for me. To connect them with glass and wrapping is just the best. |
