Wyandanch Station, stairway, north elevation. (L) proposed design; (R) alternative design
Last winter, I was honored to have this colorful glass facade concept selected as one of four proposals for a public art project at Long Island Rail Road’s Wyandanch Station. While the work ultimately went unrealized, it was an interesting design challenge and I can imagine adapting it for another use in the future.
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.
Colored facade concept for the Denver Crime Lab, day view (more here)
Last week, I shared a couple of unrealized (as of yet) colored facade ideas that I’ve been revisiting recently. One of them, originally drafted for a Denver Crime Lab proposal, has been especially lingering as a concept I’d love to develop further.
Details of (L) sawtooth glass and (R) painted/laminated glass
I’m pleased to announce that this website now includes a brand new “Techniques” section! The pages therein offer some general overviews of sawtooth glass and painted/laminated glass, the two types of glass that I use most frequently in my work.

While Rhode Island hasn’t been hit by the polar vortex nearly as hard as other places, I still find myself already itching for spring–not only for the warmth, but for the burst of color that lends so much inspiration for works of colored glass. It’s during these grayest of January days that I often daydream about visiting the tulip fields of North Holland.
