Check out the podium I designed for Jonathan Wayne. John was inspired by the Hebrew letter Ayin, and wanted to somehow translate it into a more contemporary version which would become the podium for the new Baylor Hospital in Dallas. I drew up the design and then made a mockup in clay as it was actually a pretty hard concept to wrap anyone's head around via 3D. With a little re-design, I think it would make a really cool table base too... one leg on each end? Ohhh... a conference table!Our Potter Art Metal Studios artisans did a fabulous job recreating the small clay mockup, all the way down to the fine flowing curves. We also forged our own texture, which as always, added extra depth to the piece.
The new Baylor Charles A. Sammons Cancer Center at Dallas opened to the public on Saturday, March 26, 2011.
You should also check out John's other work... he comes up with some of the most amazing glass pieces you've ever seen. The Baylor Healing Garden contains a beautiful contemporary structure called Glass Falls. I just love the colorful sheets of glass... they make me think of ice blocks washed over with cascading water.
