Any time I’m developing a new work of custom art glass, I like to draft many variations on a single theme.

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.

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.

Next time I’m in Santa Monica, I look forward to taking a stroll past (or better yet, driving into) the Civic Center Parking Structure. Yes, you read that correctly – parking structure!

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.
