THE FROZEN RAIN SERIES

Suspended shaped clear and colored Lucite prisms, lacquered brass, wire rope, reflected light

13ft.h x 16ft. l x 8 ½ft. d 1988

Commissioned by David Bermant Foundation for Hamden Plaza, Hamden, CT

The installation features four suspended prisms accompanied by a fifth prism attached to the painted wall.

I discovered by bending the shape of the prism, I was able to bend the shapes of the reflected spectrums. The expansive spectrums fuse the art with its environment.

In the evening, the light reflections are intensified and begin to dissolve the sculptural forms.
