Hodges Taylor Gallery 455 x 600 pixels (34 KB) 0 Comments MANY THANKS to Dot Hodges (pictured), Christie Taylor, and Elizabeth Love Maddrey of the Hodges Taylor Gallery. They are in charge all the Hospital’s Art Projects.	Kurt Gabriel 455 x 600 pixels (50 KB) 0 Comments Professor Kurt Gabriel (pictured), collaborated with me for the installation. THANK YOU!	Make sure it's safe 455 x 600 pixels (40 KB) 0 Comments As with everything I install, I hung from and bounced on the blocking or mounting bracket that would hold the completed piece. It may look heavy, but it only weighs 107.5 lbs. I weigh 160lbs…
How it goes together 789 x 600 pixels (60 KB) 0 Comments Each blown glass flower and ribbon, twists or “cork screws” in and out of the metal frame. They interlock to form a “physical” bond, or metal and glass” skeleton”.	VERY STRONG CONECTIONS!!!! 789 x 600 pixels (71 KB) 0 Comments Each of these hundreds (thousands?) of interlocking physical connections are then glued together. The glass is never suspended by glue, but prevented from movement or “unlocking” if bumped or broken.	More Safety 789 x 600 pixels (41 KB) 0 Comments The inside of the lower dome, is “rubberized” with 50-year silicone rubber. If it were ever be broken by a foreign object, the rubber helps to hold the glass together. The interlocking... connections and glue, do the same for ribbons and flowers.
How to change a bulb... 789 x 600 pixels (78 KB) 0 Comments The three 150 watt type A-incandescent bulbs can be easily changed by holding the glass dome in place, then removing the glass and metal finial.	Change it 789 x 600 pixels (86 KB) 0 Comments The lower dome is then removed to gain bulb access.	Photo with the “flash” on 789 x 600 pixels (77 KB) 0 Comments We wanted this to playfully explode with color, and use projected light to create an oasis inside the hospital. Colors drastically change as viewers move from sections of projected to reflected light.
