Ascent was planned as a diptych. It may still be one, but I am still working on just one of the pieces. What is half a diptych? Zen joke. I have cut and glued the glass insert. The cedar part of the piece has been cut and sanded, but has not been given it final finish yet. I put the glass very carefully balanced through the wood to see how it looked. It looked OK, but I later added several additional layers of glass to better fill the opening. I glued the glass with UV cured glue. It was slow going, I only had a small UV flashlight to cure it. It took hours. Thanks to our patron, we purchased a much larger UV light source that plugs in. No more dead batteries and MUCH faster cure times. Yeah, Donna.

We started a maquette of Odin’s Eye as a possible starting point for the public sculpture, Amaranth. It wasn’t used for the piece. It, like the rebar helix, was an early idea that is now ripe for a new sculpture. This one will not be a maquette, but a small sculpture in it’s own right.

Thanks to my sister Sarah for the BriWax red wood dye.

Next comes the stacked glass. Where oh where does it go?
