I created this window for a couple’s home in Oregon in 2018. It was for a landing window on the second floor.

The glass is Lamberts, blown in Germany. I like how the reamy glass gives motion to the window, depicting wind blowing through the branches, detaching leaves, and carrying them to faraway places.

I separated the spaces between the branches to give the window character and depth. To support the window, I layered various lengths of finishing nails in the spaces where the branches go before solder sculpturing.

I enjoy making windows like this. Free form is much easier than a geometric design and more realistic and exciting.
