CAPSTONE I 2017
Self-made, sculptural installation
wine glasses, birch wood, soundscape.
2017
Five hand made birch tables and shelves make their home in a small room, the biggest of which is 5'x5' in the center of the room. Over 300 wine glasses epoxied on site to the thrice sanded and varnished surfaces. An echoing soundscape with no visible source mimics a far-away ringing in your ear and the sounds of singing crystal; bright lights refract off the surface of the glass. The combination proved to overwhelm some and mesmerize others. A Polish pottery bowl of water sits atop a pedestal where guests were encouraged to wet their fingers and "play" the glasses. Strangers made beautiful music together.
