Gravity works

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 outdoor settings. Here are a few examples. Most were dismantled after the pieces was taken down, however -glass is amazingly strong, and many of these air annealed pieces are still around.
