Southwest Portals
Southwest Portals - Series
The Southwest Portal Series was created in an attempt to let the mind and imagination be transported to beautiful spots here in the desert. The places included peering into Reflection Canyon of Lake Powell, cliffside of the Grand Canyon, and floating past the mesas of Monument Valley.
Stand-alone glass clouds soldered to the exterior of the panel to help create depth and give the portals a whimsical feel. Along with the clouds wire detailing was also used for a “hatching” effect for shadowing and additional depth. Glass used in all three pieces included new and vintage glass. The glass used for the skies is a gorgeous blue baroque that is no longer in production.
