Collab with Matthew Heller #1
It is around 9 X 13 inches and hangs horizontal. This piece was a true labor of love with a lot of trial and error. I am so happy with the way it turned out, if you look closely at the detailing on the clear iridescent glass, you can tell it is one continuous piece of glass which was cut to fit the design, which I believe gives this piece a lot of flow.

Work Statement:
I tend to overthink a lot in everyday life, and I have tried to avoid that with my recent art. My goal is to simply make, feel, intuit, without thinking or judging too much. While I obviously can't eliminate thinking entirely, I try to build systems that let me quickly get into flow and create.
I work primarily in a digital space. I make quick thumbnail sketches and recreate them with Adobe Illustrator, trying to produce one of a kind compositions that emphasize symmetry, lines, and "perfect" forms. I'm currently exploring the endless potential of splitting a simple rectangle into a multitude of other shapes.
Even before Katy and I began to collaborate, I thought of these rectangles as windows or portals. While I haven't quite figured out what's on the other side, it has been really exciting to see Katy's skill in working with glass to bring these digital compositions into the real world.
