Reality's Illusion

My most recent public art commission Reality's Illusion was installed last week in an elementary school in Bremerton, Washington, near Seattle. This project was part of Washington State's Percentage for the Arts program. Reality's Illusion features seven 47 inches x 47 inches mosaic panels crafted from glass and hand glazed tile, along with hand formed cast glass and ceramic pieces. My two studio assistants, Kasi Kubiak and Emily Burgess, helped in crafting the cast glass pieces. The panels were designed with the microscopic ecosystems of the Olympia Peninsula in mind and have hidden elements, unique shapes, and images to be discovered by students and adults alike. Below are individual images of each of the seven mosaic panels included in Reality's Illusion. You can see more images of Reality's Illusion on my website under Public Commissions
