2009 - Latitude 43 Restaurant in Gloucester, Massachusetts. The Octopus was commissioned to go above a sushi pit in an oceanfront restaurant. The piece is made of stainless steel and blown glass. This was my first blown glass and metal combination. The architect suggested I work with the guys at MIT in Boston to create a free-flowing piece with glass and metal. It was a stretch to learn the process of combining the two mediums but it has led to many projects with glass and it's been awesome. I did many cool pieces for the interior of Lat 43; fireplace screen, bonsai tree railing and ticket holders. The fireplace screen was to look like one of Gloucester's fishing nets.
