refracted image projected on the ceiling of the studio

The Washboard Suntracker window provides three forms of aesthetic pleasure: Viewed, projected and refracted.

When viewing the window, the prismatic glasses capture and bend the light providing a textural symphony of movement. The ten central prisms are lead crystal from a chandelier. In between and surrounding the prisms are a wide and narrow reeded dichroic glass. At the corners of the design are clear glass hand-faceted jewels bordered by optically clear blue and dichroic glass.

In direct sunlight the window projects a pattern onto the floor. The reeded glasses send shafts of light beyond the 5 ½" shadow provided by the frame.

Most stunning of all is the refracted pattern of 10 overlapping rainbows that appear on the wall and ceiling.

Glass size 10" x 21" set in a wide frame, size 21" x 32", $1800
