Bioglass is a novel, non-toxic, biodegradable material that resembles traditional glass or synthetic acrylic, plastic, and resin, but is derived from biological sources. It is rigid, optically clear, transparent, and lightweight.
When its useful life ends, bioglass can be returned to the earth, where it naturally biodegrades and provides nutrients rather than persisting as waste. Or it can be re-melted and made into a new object or form.

Produced in small batches and cast by hand, bioglass pours like resin and reads like glass. My technique involves methods designed for specific outcomes, but bioglass reveals its own ideas about form and visual identity. It prefers to warp and express itself with air bubbles, trace markings, and foam.
I am in steady negotiation with Bioglass to discover what’s possible.
I’m still uncovering all it wants to be.

Objects created with bioglass are designed for contemplation and to exist in spaces of daily life. Each piece is unique, considered, and an invitation to engage a little deeper with the objects that make up our material world.
Bioglass grounds a broader theoretical inquiry into the condition of material estrangement→ and the counterimage→ (a design methodology and critical framework) developed through my publication Seeing Through Glass: On Materiality, Estrangement, and the Counterimage→.
