Artist Statement/Bio:
"I feel a wonderful connection to the entire process of making art whether it is working in glass, wood, metal or any other medium. I have been putting things together and creating from a young age and have always had a passion for the construction of objects. Each piece that I create allows me to express a bit of my personality or imagination. I steadily try to keep my work contemporary and fresh. Glass is a medium that provides me endless opportunity to create, learn and teach. Glass is capable of being formed and molded with not much more than air, a wet newspaper and an inspired mind. I am drawn to it mainly because of the creative process itself. The infinite variations of color, depth and texture - along with any shape my imagination can envision - are just a few reasons why I like working with glass over any other medium. The beginning of a form always starts the same way on an empty blowpipe, like an empty canvas for a painter. Each piece depends on my timing, balance and control. When I decide a piece is finished, I let it freeze. What had started as a dynamic fluid molten goo is now beautifully frozen in time. When I create my furniture, I try to pair up the wood with the glass so that complementary synthesis is achieved." - Matt Kenyon
