Object:
Front Landing
Materials:
Vitreous Glass with Med Grey Grout on a Concrete Slab
Method:
Direct on Mesh
I
took this on to explore the challenges of:
1. a larger project ...
2. that is constructed in pieces offsite
...
3. and then reassembled during the installation.
A few unrelated smaller pieces were done first to get
comfortable with using mesh before embarking on the landing.
The
landing is the 11' x 5' slab in front of the porch. I
worked on this in between other projects.
Needing
the storage for these other projects, I decided to install
the border. Reassembling the puzzle was painstaking but
went without any unforseen problems.
The
dolphins were assembled and finally placed inside the
existing border. I hope the detail shots give you a nice
glimpse of the how I got from my initial inspiration below,
an old tourist rug, to the final floor.
"Kalimera"
is the name of our house and is a greek salutation. Used
most of the day as a "hello"; litterally translated
"good morning". The year 2001 is in the background,
commemorating the start of the construction of the home.
