Here is the left side first look.

OK.  The left side is looking pretty good.  Now, how to display it.  I wanted it to be about five feet tall.  I liked the circle in interation 4, but it needed something to increase its height.  The picture below was taken in my welding yard.  You can see the beginnings of the right side of the sculpture also.

I didn’t like the horizontal.  This is an angle test.  I liked the angle.

This is the next idea I explored for the dyptic.  I liked it.  The glass ,however, is just stacked in the cedar, not yet glued.  When I tried to move it to glue it, it didn’t stay together.  I had to restack and glue the glass.

I don’t use a CAD program to explore sculptural design ideas. It’s too mechanical for me. It removes the natural use of my hands. The design process is trial and error. Below are the first two of the iterations on the way to my new dyptic sculpture for the RAPG grant.

This is my first stacked glass piece.

This is a new medium for me. Blue Ridge Glass of Waynesville, NC has been a great supporter. They have provided me with pieces of 1/4″ thick scrap glass plate. This is my second piece. I have given it to Blue Ridge Glass as a thank you for all of their help. Thank you Blue Ridge Glass

Gregg’s sculpture career got a boost from the RAPG. This is a North Carolina Arts grant. His project is a diptych sculpture. Diptych means in two pieces. He’s exploring how to make two parts relate to each other, and to also stand alone.

The Haywood County Arts Council coordinated with HART Theater in Waynesville to have an exhibit of art produced by local artists.   Susan and I  were invited to exhibit our work there for the month of October 2018.  This is what we did.

It’s about two feet tall.  Steel and cedar.
