	STUPAfy Interactive, Modulated Sculpture The STUPAfy Interactive Enlightenment art piece features both sound and lights controlled by a programmed micro-controller (Arduino Uno). The STUPAfy IE sculpture is inspired by the Buddhist architectural form called a "stupa." The spatial forms of the stupa are symbols and express concepts of metaphysical importance. The title, STUPAfy is a pun which combines the meaning of the word "stupa" and "stupefy" to amaze, astonish and be mysterious and bewildering. The STUPAfy IE sculpture is crowned by a mesmerizing kiln fused glass globe which rests atop a hand-crafted pine wood base. The hand-crafted fused glass globe is actually a 30-sided spherical geometric figure called a triacontahedron. The glass art piece is beautiful by itself, but the addition of interactive sound and light transforms it to another level.
	Blue-Green Triacontahedron Glass sculpture comprising a 30-sided geometric figure called a triacontahedron. This 10 inch diameter globe is composed of 30 golden-rhombus fused glass panels. The panels are joined together with embedded stainless steel wire. The wire junctions are covered with 72 flame-worked glass beads (60 blue beads and 12 green beads). The green beads are at the vertices of an icosahedron.
	Thirty Transcendent Values Meditation upon this glass art object enables self to witness symmetry, beauty and truth beyond self. Creating a single golden rhombus in fused glass is virtuous. But successfully joining thirty glass rhombus in a spherical rhombic triacontahedron is transcendent. The individual glass facets join together with an embedded copper wire network to form a unique glass vessel that encompasses space, color, light, movement, texture, transparency, reflection, and radiance in a whole greater than its parts.
	Two Golden Spirals Stained glass window, free hanging glass, copper foil technique. Two golden spirals are juxtaposed on a geometric construction of a golden rectangle and a golden triangle.
	Morphology Of A Virus Attack Kiln-cast glass sculpture. The subject of the sculpture is a virus attacking a cell. Twenty triangular kiln cast glass panels form the icosahedral structure of the virus protein capsid. The icosahedron’s beautiful symmetry hides the dangerous nature of the viral morphology. The sculpture is made entirely of kiln-cast recycled glass. Other materials include copper wire, brass rod, silicone adhesive and wooden base.
	Hexagram 64, Fire Over Water, Completion I CHING hexagram # 64, Fire Over Water, Wei Chi - Before Completion. Fire over Water Caution, regeneration, Potential, Clarity. During regenerative (times of renewal and transformation) times such as these there is intense pressure to succeed but, to get anywhere worthwhile, you need to proceed cautiously and with firm dedication to higher principles.
	Moonrise and Sunset Fused glass plate with dichroic glass tack-fused. Abstract composition.
	Talisman: Head, Heart and Ground This talisman is made of three large glass beads, stainless steel wire, and leather. The talisman empowers the actions of the wearer by connecting our Head, Heart and the Ground of Reality. The top Head bead symbolizes intelligence, reasoning, logic, skill and knowledge. The middle Heart bead symbolizes wisdom, openess, compassion and loving kindness. The bottom Ground Of Reality bead symbolizes truth, faith, hope, realization of the union of life and death, the understanding of the interdependence of all things, and insight that all time (past and future) and all space exist in the here-and-now.
	Hanging Lamp - Recycled & Stained Glass A unique hanging lamp incorporating stained glass and fused recycled glass. The colors of the iridescent stained glass complement the interior design colors of the sitting room. A series of tall thin panels are arrayed in a cylinder. Each panel is created with a delicate frame of clear fused recycled bottle glass surrounding a rectangle of iridescent stained glass. The bottom of the cylinder is a single heavy disk of fused bottle glass.
