In the mid 1980's I started working with glass. I made a series of pieces that I called "Gravityworks" installations-using gravity as a way to wrap glass around armatures and place them in indoor and mainly outdoor settings. Here are a few examples. Most were destroyed and discarded after the pieces were taken down, however -glass is amazingly strong, and a few of these air annealed pieces are still around.
