Stained Glass Sculpture
The idea for Architonomous Art Glass began in early 1994. Having created many decorative stained glass objects — mainly jewelry boxes — a friend suggested taking one of the box lids and displaying it on a plate stand as an object d’art. The sketching of this idea kept resolving into something resembling a piece of furniture or a house, resulting in a stained glass panel set into an easel, often decorated with architectural elements: finials, spheres, cubes.
Architonomous is an amalgam of the words architectural and autonomous.
Architonomous Art Glass sculptures were initially produced in editions in which a design was repeated, but with a different combination of colors, textures, wood species, and decorative elements.
Today, these works are created on a singular basis, sparing no time, effort, or premium materials. These studied compositions are manifest in sculptural works that are truly beautiful works of fine art.
