The Eagle at the Falls

This piece is an original design and pattern inspired by scenes from the four years I lived in Alaska.  It is extremely complex and uses different textures of clear and architectural glass to simulate the water flowing over the falls and the white water.  Four shades of blue Waterglass were used to create differential movement of the river as the white water transitions to smoother flowing river water.  Textured browns and whites five detail to the eagle's plumage.  The additional pictures highlight details of the falls, the white water, the rocks, and the salmon trying to jump upstream to the spawning grounds.  The panel is 30" x 21", contains 638 pieces, and took over 220 hours to design and construct.  The materials used were black-backed copper foil, soldered with a black patina.
