Sculpture 1

Stained Glass, 8 inch x 3 inch x 3 inch This piece was created with the inspiration being that of an obelisk. Obelisks are usually pyramidal shape on top of a stone pillar, functioning as a monument or landmark. This semester a lot of my work has focused on the cyclical nature of life, and death. I wanted to reimagine the idea of an obelisk, from it being  cold and solid of stone to being an object that is hollow with light able to pass through. Ideally it will have light coming through within, and shining through the glass to the outside world.   

Stained Glass, 3 Feet x 3 Feet x 10 inches This piece is inspired by the brutalist movement. I wanted to take the harsh nature of brutalism and make something that was delicate and soft in structure, a direct juxtaposition of what one would think of brutalism to be. This piece is made using stained glass, wire, copper tape, and solder. Wire wraps around the stained glass both to assist in keeping the structure and to instill movement in the piece. The spiral shape is hung on two square shaped portals, making the piece look as if it is jumping through them. The work itself is hung by wire on the ceiling.
