Installations

	Stairway Sculpture Commissioned for a private residence in San Francisco. Fourteen layers of clear plate glass set into a box in stairway balustrade and lit from within the box. 1/4" plate glass, shaped, beveled, laminated, air-brushed mountain images within. (Functional hand railing is on other side of stairs.) Full size is about 4" x 4" x 48". ©1991 This concept would also be appropriate as a horizontal piece.
	Glass Wall Wall between dining room and living room in private residence in Sonoma County. Seven "cascades" of laminated optically clear 1/4" plate Starphire®. Sandblasted clouds establish division between the two rooms. Intent was to create a piece that became part of each room, but not the dominating feature of either room. Client desired light, airy, even ethereal effect. Width 9", height 6", depth 2.5". Lit from beneath by a string of LED bulbs. ©2008
	Dining Table Commissioned as a dining room table for a residence in San Francisco. An unusual structural use of 1/4" plate glass. Laminated optically clear plate glass top with table legs lit from within the cast aluminum base. Size: 29" high with 60"diameter tabletop. ©2000
