Scenes from Alberta
Layers
Looking over my life, the moments where I struggled with mental health issues, the moments where I succeeded against the odds, the moments of dark and light, I realized that I had divided my life into layers.
​
Looking at each stage or moment on its own, and easily becoming trapped in the single story told in the moment.
It is only when I bring all those layers together - the dark and the light, the loss, sorrow and pain along with the success, joy and happiness - only then can I see the complete beauty of my life.
​
Only then that I can begin to see the complete beauty of the lives of those around me.
​
I create glass art in layers in the same way. Some layers are dark and muted - without definition. Other layers are incomplete compilations of form and color.
​
Not one single layer would stand on its own.
​
It is only in the formation of the block - the complete fusion of all the layers that they story - the beauty emerges.
