Bear Mountain Birch, Chugiak Alaska

view from west/loft

bear mountain birch - deeply etched glass wall between loft and vaulted room. Created fall 2007 - These photos show two sides of just one section of forty linear feet of etched glass in this residential site in Chugiak, Alaska. The glass is blasted with grit in five layers of varied depth.

This site required a child-safe and elegant barrier between the loft and room below. “Birch” is the dominant theme throughout the architecture and décor of this Alaska home at the foot of Bear Mountain. (Note the birch trees just outside the windows.) The artist created the entire work onsite using the trees, leaves, and mountains as models.
