For the Feather/Oars which are 20ft (H)
Initial sketch.
"Hope is the thing with feathers." Emily Dickinson
All made by hand with detail to be "read" up close and from afar.
Over 150 2ft x ft pieces will be fired.
A giant puzzle of color
Creates a depth of field that is remarkable, and takes a lot of material. A new shipment is ordered.
Nearly 1400 pounds of glass in two shipments arrives from Paden City W. Virginia in perfect condition. Great job team!
Each bar must be bent or cut into tines for the feather.
Can be fun with our assistant Ash.
Awaiting glass
Each piece is handmade.
We have now, officially, finished the glass. There’s hundreds of panels, each one unique.
½ of one.
The City has laid the foundation at Cascade Park. It overlooks the lake.
Every bolt must be exactly in the correct place
20 ft, of which 13ft is glass
Takes a steady hand
Slows the process but we are nearly there.
Allows us to measure and make the adjustments needed to install the work.
Instal is about a week away…weather permitting!
From the City of Rochester
Securing the sculpture against surprise Spring Blizzard
We’re on hold for a couple of days. More soon.
Three blizzards later and 65 mph winds…
