"Everson Unwrapped Tree, Under Construction"
stacked glass sculpture by Mick Mather

Today's post is one of the documentation photographs taken while I was creating this piece for the Everson Unwrapped event that opens on Thursday, December 4th. The piece is just about 25" tall - go here for complete information - and I'll be installing this very, very soon. When I have the final documentation photographs of the finished installation I'll be sharing it right here.

Work, work, work -

"Sister Kate at the Wheel of Fortune"
digital collage by Mick Mather

Yesterday I spent a half day at The Everson Museum assembling my stacked glass tree. It took 2 hours to get the work area set-up and to develop a working rhythm. It took two more hours to get the tree a mere 9" high. I need to go in earlier and stay later if I'm going to finish it. At some point I'm also going to have to worry about how to keep it together for a move to storage until I can actually install it. Cross your fingers - yes, just like Sister Kate here who's just spun the wheel! :)
