Summer


June ...just back from Germany....anything you do for the first time is a challenge. The technique we invented on the Kapolei project could be used in this project. The texture , yes , but the process of light inherent in a two light source glass is harder when you have a floor with no light coming out from the bottom. The color application is totally different.

After a week of trials and samples, it still up in the air .

February on to March.....immersed in a new glass floor project....and yes....something different/new....so nobody has really done this technique on glass on this scale....16 ' x 35'....."walk on water"..........

The large floating glass floor commission has gone through its concept and design phases and approvals.. The mobilization phase is just about to start.

The first concrete pour for the glass floor is done and we have to wait till the sides are up to determine the exact dimensions .

Peters Glasmalerei is currently making samples to send to Hawaii.

Currently a small show of Anianiku paintings upstairs at The Gallery at Ward Centre.









The Kapolei Judiciary Complex
Now, renamed: Ronald T. Y. Moon Kapolei Courthouse
The new building, with art on the walls, sculpture and glass building murals, is a great integration of art and the functioning utility of the new judicial family court. Part art museum, part court rooms.

The Kapolei Judicial Complex Art Glass Commission
2006 - 2009
Artwork from State Foundation is usually installed after a building is completed.
This competiton awarded art commission project involved working with the architectural drawings and it's changing modifications. The glass bays were an integral exterior-interior enclosure or "skin"of the building structure.

Everyone at every level and at each time-line had to be on the same page. The artist, Architects Hawaii, DAGS, SFCA, the Judicial Art Committee, Peters Glasmalerei (Germany), the shipping company, customs, the construction contractor, and the sub contractors/glaziers: glass installers all came together to make this huge undertaking a spectacular success. On time and on budget.
This was a major coodination of all State departments and private contractors that took years to prep and nearly four years to complete.



Bay #4 @ sunset, summer'09

Of the 5 large window bays, the largest one is a horizontal ground level mural that is 24' 4" high by 40' 4" long.
Surrounding the entry courtyard, the other four are upper level vertical bays that are each 29' x 20'.
The scope of these combined murals makes this art-glass process the largest of its kind in the world.
