June 24, 2014
I thought I might quickly share another example of variations on a theme that lead to a final work of custom glass art.

The “Fish Church” that I profiled last week reminded me of another iconic house of worship from around the same era, with some similar qualities (including modern stained glass panels, though used much more sparingly): the United States Air Force Academy Cadet Chapel, a designated U.S. National Historical Landmark just outside of Colorado Springs.
Variations on Themes in Custom Art Glass
Any time I’m developing a new work of custom art glass, I like to draft many variations on a single theme.

Stamford, Connecticut is home to a delightfully unique example of modern stained glass – the First Presbyterian Church, aka the “Fish Church.”

Baldessari’s READ/WRITE/THINK/DREAM at UCSD (via Stuart Collection, UCSD)
John Baldessari is one of those artists who seems to work in nearly every realm one can imagine — painting, photography, film, video, sculpture, installation, performance, you name it. The one medium I’ve never really associated with him is glass; and yet I was recently reminded of the glass panels that he created in 2001 for the entrance of the Geisel Library at the University of California, San Diego.
Color Inspiration for Art Glass Screens
Much of my custom glass art work is inspired by the colors of nature. For example, the piece shown here draws from the bold colors of Rhode Island wetland habitats that are emerging right now, in spring.
Making Archival Pigment Prints

Signing a finished archival pigment print for COPT
The other day, I posted some images of archival pigment prints that I created for Corporate Office Properties Trust (COPT) and printed here in Rhode Island at iolabs. I very much enjoyed this break from glass to work in another medium, although the technique for creating these prints is actually quite similar to one I often use to develop painted glass works.

From time to time I make work in mediums other than glass. Shown here are some colorful pigment prints created for Corporate Office Properties Trust (COPT).

I’m pleased to share a new time lapse video of a custom art glass wall that I installed a little while back at Florida Hospital Wesley Chapel, in the hospital’s non-denominational chapel.
