Joann...Thanks everybody for your wonderful praise.<br /><br />Joanne - Mostly the effect I get from seeing the work in place is relief. When it is a large installation with many pieces I enjoy seeing them all together, I feel satisfied that it all worked the way I saw it in my head because in the shop I am seeing only individual panels. I try not to get too emotionally involved in the work so I don't ever 'miss' a piece. for me the power is in the making. The joy is in the reaction of the recipients. although once in a while I do impress myself.<br /><br />Willow - this is actually something that I do think about, that some of my work will outlive me, maybe even for hundreds of years. I fantasize having it rediscovered thousands of years later by archeologists. But I don't sign my work, not the architectural stuff. I made that decision when I first started. I didn't like the look of big signatures on architectural work and small ones would never be seen. I don't feel the need to have my name known and attached to the work after I die. It's enough for me that the beauty I created will remain.<br /><br />Kathleen - yup. They still have it.ellen abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535475792150335186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-86061741356897630472010-04-02T09:12:14.860-05:002010-04-02T09:12:14.860-05:00Wow, this is exquisite work!

It's been so long since I've been to church, I had no clue cry rooms still existed. I'm quite taken with the curved window. Amazing the depth you were able to capture. Did I ever till you Chappell Hill was part of my beat when I worked for the Houston Chronicle. Do they still do the scarecrow festival? So lovely to see your blog again.
