under the sea
I created this piece with eight children from the hematology/oncology unit at Children's Hospital this summer. I drew the fish on mesh and the children cut and glued glass tiles down in their own style! The piece was funded by my good friend, Marsha and her non-profit, Breanna's Gift. We wanted to create a piece that looked as though it was an abandoned port hole- all rough and scuffed up- but when you looked through it, you saw the magic of the sea life. We finished and installed the piece last week after a lot of hassle with plexiglass, which is a nightmare to cut in a circle!

Oh the porthole is wonderful and so glad you showed the scale of how large it is. I like the idea of the port hole as a view into another world, a view into possibilities and hope, a view into a magic place.
ReplyDeletewhat is the hanging mechanism and the weight of the piece; I am always curious as to how heavy pieces of art are hung.
What a super and noble effort. The piece is surprisingly larger than the first picture would indicate. You all must be very proud!
