Garden Lantern

cast bronze, kiln-formed glass
6′h x 16″w 16″d
2004, Woodside, California

A number of meticulously formed bronze and glass parts slide together, interlocking like a puzzle to form the base, structural backbone, and head of the Garden Lantern. The light glows through the thick, translucent, kiln-formed glass, revealing the beautiful qualities introduced through the kiln-forming process. Six of these lanterns are installed in a residential garden setting.
