Threshold of Presence explores the space between darkness and light — a moment of transition where memory, presence and transformation meet.

The work is created on glass using stained-glass techniques, glass paints and glass inks, developed through multiple kiln-firing processes. Layers of deep charcoal, olive, earthy tones and translucent washes create shadow-like forms on the left, gradually dissolving into a lighter field of blue-grey, muted blush, ochre and warm as copper.

Fine marks, scratches, organic lines and circular forms appear within the surface, suggesting fragments of memory, unseen connections and figures emerging from the darkness. Subtle golden and warm tones catch and reflect the light, giving the glass a changing quality depending on its surroundings.

Rather than depicting a literal scene, the work invites the viewer to experience a threshold — the moment between what has been and what is yet to emerge.

The layered kiln-fired surface gives the piece both depth and permanence, while the reflective nature of glass allows light to become part of the artwork itself.
