The Phoenix project

(2012) 5/8" sheet glass, waterjet cut and laminated.

Another in my line of Greek myths. The Phoenix captures my imagination. As an artist I'm interested in the moment of transformation, and I've tried to capture that here. I figure they Greek gods don't like to wait around for stuff (they seem pretty impatient most of the time). So I figure that the Phoenix will burst from the ashes fully formed. The pure clear glass with the translucent red lines gives the hint of the magnificent red bird to come very shortly.
