Future Beauty at the Peabody Essex Museum

Spectacular show, highly recommended.


I didn't get many shots, as I was quickly informed that photography wasn't permitted -- fortunately they didn't make me purge the shots (unlike my experience in the Korean DMZ).

Finally finished this piece! It took a while, mostly to fab the base (yes, that's the part you don't see much of…). A dull saw blade was part of the problem, coupled with the added excitement of having the screen vaporize when I hit it with an arc welder (finally decided to tie it with fine copper wire).

Per my convention, I don't write much about what I'm trying to achieve in a piece (or what it "means").

Overall dimensions are 16"w x 29"h x "16.5"d

Always have a fondness for glass -- the tile and inlay nicely complement the curvature.

Various filters let me pull the gold tone into the glass
