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!
