Fractured Meridian

Dalle de verre uses glass slabs roughly an inch thick, faceted at the edges with a hammer and chisel rather than cut with a wheel. The facets catch and scatter light instead of transmitting it cleanly, which gives the piece a completely different character from anything cut from sheet glass — more like held light than a picture made of light. This was our first dalle de verre commission at this scale, and we underestimated the epoxy cure time badly enough that installation slipped six weeks.
