Technique
Les sculptures sont créées par la fusion du verre plat, d?une épaisseur minimum de 1mm, dans un four électrique. Ensuite il faut compter le temps de refroidissement de quelques jours ou bien plusieurs semaines. Puis, on ajoute des éléments de peinture ? les materiaux de cuisson, comme les pigments, et des oxydes métalliques (or, argent, larget). Ces procédures pour obtenir les colorations sont dans un premier temps chauffées à la temperature de 560°C, puis fusionnées dans un bloc compact. Ce bloc est taillé d´après une conception artistique par une scie diamant, et puis taillé et poli par des disques horizontaux ou verticaux.
Pour le cas de sculpture alliant plusieurs matériaux : "Connection", le verre est travaillé avec un acier inoxydable.
Parfois, une oeuvre peut encore être peinte sur la surface polie et encore une fois recuite dans un four.
