Description of work

Pick-up Sticks is a whimsical and playful series of approximately 59 fused glass art panels that read as a whole and plays with the imagination. This work is an interactive experience that grounds the building to human scale.

Artist statement

The inspiration for this glass painting is color in motion, music, rhythm, chaos and order, elements that interact to create a child like play, like pick up sticks, which is highly involved in the element of chance. Although you are compelled by the beauty of the spontaneous position of the sticks in relationship to each other your mind dissolves and recreates patterns again and again.

The intention is to create a playful and whimsical interactive experience, reflective of the vibrancy of imagination. The artwork is always changing depending on your relationship to the fence.
