Drawing inspiration from spontaneity, Jimmy Anderegg�s work layers colored elements that undergo a carving process, revealing lively interior and exterior relationships. Introduced to glass in 2001, Anderegg has lived and worked in the Seattle metropolitan area ever since.

My work is the visual manifestation of my values and emotions. It is most often my daydreams which spark my imagination as the mind wanders beyond self-imposed boundaries. I employ the associations of familiarity and comfort attached to foodstuffs and mine a deep fascination with color and light, to evade my audience's taboos and engage in a camouflaged yet frank dialogue about sex, sexuality, sexual health and consent.
