Cascading Eye is a light-responsive, glass and cable sculpture. The artwork is comprised of tens of thousands of pieces of laminated safety glass strung along stainless steel cables and suspended in an elegant vesica-shape. The stainless steel cable stands are connected to an intricate tensile cable web attached to tubular stainless steel columns in the atrium of the building. The glass elements are 2" square, laminated with a dichroic film which reflects one color and projects its opposite color. The color changes depending on the orientation of the viewer. The majority of the glass elements are colored deep blue (and projected brilliant gold), but carved into the center of the cascade is a cylindrical core of contrasting gold colored glass elements (that project blue), which creates an ocular pattern that is visible from many angles.
