° November: The recent Paderborn trip was a pleasant surprise as the slowly developing airbrushing and slumping techniques has finally matured to the point that I'm very pleased with the whole project. Not only has this project been developing, but , there is a fabulous new glass studio addition that was built over the summer to accomodate these murals. Everything is in full production to realize the deadlines and shipping dates.
We need to produce the first 3 glass murals , temper, seal the exterior slump and interior color panel into an IGU and ship these out for installation by February. I may have to return to Paderborn within the next month or so...we will see the progress continues.......

Kapolei Judicial Building Complex: Art Glass project: on-going since 2006

° June News:

'just came back from a great trip from Paderborn. The weather was warm and surrounding towns and landscapes looked so lush and green as compared to the past 3 winter trips. I biked to and from the separate studios as well as enjoyed the secluded and quiet bike paths from town to town.

We managed to finally give the go ahead to start the construction stage of the first and largest of the glass window bays. There will be 5 large window bays constructed.

sample detail of the airbrushed glass enamels with the exterior slumped glass

In a two pane window system (IGU: Integrated glass unit), the exterior will be the clear slumped glass interpretation of a water image, and the interior flat pane will be the air brushed glassed fused color interpretation.

The water images are site specific. They are from the West side of O'ahu, specifically of this naturally protected salt water pond called Anianiku in the area of Lanikuhounua. Anianiku was a reflecting/ healing pond; where in the old days, the Ali'i (royalty) would dip their newborn in these waters to give them ha or breath. It also served as a nurturing pond of spawning /keiki fish to grow before heading north along the coast.
Wai or water was such an important factor in Hawaiian culture that the precise use, conservation and preservation of water, Kanawai , is the word for the code of Law.
