Chris Alexander

My work is driven by the beauty and challenges of the medium of glass.  My goal is to push traditional techniques and materials into new expressions.  I believe stained glass is an alchemical medium.  It holds an interesting and not easily specified space on the creative spectrum.  Glass can be simultaneously craft, architecture, and fine art.  It has a constructivist component that is architectural and craft-like.  Yet its symbolic and historically narrative role brings it into a realm of artistic conversation.  I find it to be the perfect medium in which to explore art, craft, and architecture, all of which have bemused me my entire life.
