"I believe a glass object and its material state should serve a higher purpose than decorative normality. Given the abundance of capability in this semi-fluid, glass gives us the window to successfully explore perplexing concepts and ideas throughout human behavior. ‘Corticis’ expresses the organic coral and reef life in my home country of Bermuda. The fluidity and movement of natural clusters connect as a unique glass-habitat which is found in the native marine ecosystems. " - Jahday Ford

Glass behaves differently with every element or exterior surface its comes into contact with. With wood, metal, clay and digital processes I am able to explore new synergies between glass and other compatible materials. This creates forms and textures not possible by traditional hand-made techniques, therefore formulating innovative methods of glassmaking within my practice.
