For the latest Steuben Glass store window, we designed and produced a modern interpretation of a curio cabinet showcasing African tribal relics to evoke a kind of sunset over the Arican savannah. A burnished bronze color and various 'indigenous' heirlooms are juxtaposed with Steuben's Safari collection of animal shaped crystal.
Geoff's quick sketch of the design before production.
Burnished bronze panels were also used inside to reflect the main window.
For the Hugo Boss store in Hawaii, we designed and produced a permanent sculpture of a flutter of butterflies. Carefully cut from aluminum and enameled in cool shades of blue and green, the butterflies are suspended from thin steel cables at different lengths to cascade down the staircase amidst photos of tropical foliage. Below are some shots of the project in production. The execution was delicate as the entire sculpture was completed in New York and shipped directly to Hawaii ready to hang, er.. fly!
She goes on to say "to depict a sampling of the myriad activities, I chose an improbable view, showing at once the buildings, the High Line, the Hudson promenade and the river. My intention was to catch the buzz and energy of the now trendy neighborhood, and recall some scenes of the past, such as Bastille day at Florent or carcasses at Gansewoort market.
In the accumulation of scenes, you can see: voyeurs, artists, decision makers, writers, readers, posers, lovers, shoppers, patrons, computer addicts, carnivores, party-goers, bikers, cyclists, New Yorkers and tourists. Among the scenes, there is a shepherd on the high line, a cow swims at the Gansevoort hotel, an Egyptian cow is at the Standard Hotel, an angel is partying, and a Hugo Boss patron has a leashed piglet. Is it a commercial, a movie or an art installation? You can make your own stories from these neighborhood scenes"
