working with mirrors

interesting

Nice stuff.... wish I had the time to play...

Some of these photos look like the aftermath of an Alabama tornado after ripping through a flea market. Glittery things hanging in trees under the guise of "art" just leaves me cold.

Most of the pictures on the bottom of the page didn't load. What are you using as a swivel to keep the cord from twisting.?

I wish I could see the pics.... there are so many pictures crammed onto one web page it looks like it'll take an hour to load the page....and many are coming in corrupted. Wish people would consider us mere mortals with 56k dial-up when they create web pages....oh well... other better things to do anyway.....JB

You didn't miss a thing. Ever seen the aftermath of a tornado vs. a trailer park, and all the junk left hanging in the trees? It amazes me that someone would go to all the work to "create" this and then hang it in trees that grow leaves and cover it all up. Oh, wait!! The leaves are a GOOD thing.

I do like it. Very much- can imagine how it looks next to the starkness of a city street. I'm sure people hurrying past are caught by surprise and that it's whimsical nature makes them smile. Is it glued? Foiled?

Actually, it's fused. It's one piece of glass.

No, I didn't get the original post so had no idea what it was about so I took a stab. Oh, well.

Dichro is the closest I get to fusing mirror.

I think this is terrific. This is glass in the city. Sensitive to context. Use of recycled material. Junk. Bob Benson has control, sophistication, patience, and energy. It will make folks look and smile. I very much look forward to actually seeing it.
