Cindy Brandt has now
completed five fused glass wall installations
for the World Bank Headquarters in Washington,
DC. Her three newest pieces are located in concave
alcoves and were specifically designed to transmit
the bright colors of the glass onto the walls.
Staggered Path shown here is just one of those
alcoves. The other two use bright colored woven
glass and can be seen here.
One of her previous two installations
in the World Bank Headquarters building was the
42" circle of multiple layers of iridescent
glass seen below. Actually composed of 4 quarter
circles mounted together, it was meant to appear
as a large black circle until the viewer approached
and the texture and colors came alive. Site photos,
close-ups and photos of the other installation,
A Glass Garden can be seen here.
Another commission was an
installation of multiple pieces for an office
building in Chevy Chase, Maryland. These were
designed for a convex wall where 16 of her woven
glass hangings wrapped around the wall. Pictured
here are some of the pieces laid out ready to
be hung. Because these pieces wrapped around the
wall, this is the only way to show the actual
colors. These are typical of her iridescent unique
"woven glass" work, which has been accepted
into several shows and got her an invitation to
have a small local museum show in 2010. Site photos
and a short video of the installation can be seen
here.
A great deal of her glasswork
is designed to be hung so that light creates patterns
of color on the wall in addition to the color
of the glass. Please visit her website
and her torpedo
factory artist glass web page to see more.
To create commission pieces
for distant sites she can work with a digital
photo to show what her work might look like in
the chosen site.
