fused and cameo engraved glass
Continuous Flow and Partial Objects is an ongoing body of work exploring mushrooms as both biological forms and conceptual fragments. Engraved into glass panels, these images are not finished pieces so much as moments of stillness within a larger, unfinished process. The title, borrowed from Deleuze and Guattari, hints at a philosophy of becoming: partial objects that couple with continuous flows, resisting wholeness or resolution.
Mushrooms, like thoughts or identities, emerge temporarily, unpredictably, and often out of view. These engravings are drawn from field studies, memories, and imagined growths. Some are precise; others are incomplete, barely there. They reflect an interest in decay, transformation, and the refusal of fixed form — a tension heightened their representation in engraved glass, a material more often associated with permanence and clarity.
The series is intentionally unresolved and in process. It functions like compost: layered, organic, in process. These fragments may eventually be absorbed into other work — sculptural assemblages, camera obscuras, narrative systems — or they may remain as they are: quiet, slow, fermenting.
