Public Art Project: “Unfurled”

My design for “Unfurled” is being fabricated in collaboration with Ciel Gallery and 55 mosaic artists from across the US, Canada, France, Germany, Turkey, and Australia.

This project will be completed and installed by September 2013
The roughly 8’ x 13’ mural will be installed in the Southend Art & Design District in Charlotte, North Carolina, on the exterior of Ciel Gallery: 128 E. Park Avenue.

All of the glass artwork is being generously self-funded by the contributing artists. If you would like to support this ambitious project by the donation of a few dollars to assist in installation, please go to Kickstarter to help!
