First real attempt at assembling multiple pieces in the hot shop. The wing cracked off @ one point- but was saved in the end. Made during my second semester @ VCU.

I started toying around with the idea of lighting with glass. I wanted to do more with it than just the usual/formal type of accent or decorative lighting concepts. This set up was interactive to sound, the more and louder the sounds people made around it, the faster and more violently the lights reacted on the pattern they were on . I plan on coming back to this later when I have more available time to experiment in the hot shop- and when I can figure out how to clean up the raw kinks.
A piece I made in my third semester @ VCU studying under Jack Wax, all hot blown glass except for the skull. Fixated w/ Silicone. 16" x 10 1/2". Nov. '05.
