A new direction
in backlighted glass panels. This case was created to display
as well
against a flat
backdrop as in a corner. As shown below, this design makes the
case
"go away"
when viewed from anywhere near the front. Most of the case is
crafted of
African Mahogany
and the front bezel and trim are wenge, and exotic wood
that is nearly
black. (That's why I had to photgraph it against a white backdrop.)
The glass design
was inspired by time spent at Akaka Falls. I especially
wanted to capture
the "curtains of water," as they appear to me, and
the bright spray
along both sides of the long fall.
The glass is made
up of several lavers, necessary to achieve a three-
dimensional look
not possible with just a single layer.
From an agle like
this, the back portion of the case is not visible,
making the piece
appear as though it was only an inch thick.
A bit more of
an angle shows the back of the case. This piece displays
beautifully in
a corner, too, and the switch for the lighting is on the back
of the top sloping
panel for easy access in any display situation.
These pieces are
individually hand made with extraordinary attention to detail.
Each is unique,
completely original and all patterns for each are destroyed when
the project is complete.
There are some similarities between some of the lamps, but there
are no two alike.
Each is signed by the artist and is accompanied by a signed Certificate
of Authenticity.
