Maureen Melville Conch Key Fire Station Public Art
PROPOSAL
I am an architectural glass artist. I have made many stained
glass windows and fused glass murals for public art projects.
My proposal is for stained glass windows for site 1, the upper
windows of the fire station. I have attempted to design windows that reflect
historic character of Conch Key and that also acknowledge the buildings'
function as a fire station.
The left hand window depicts a commercial fishing vessel and a tuna,
the center window Dalmatian dogs and small flames and the third window a
lobster trap and lobster with a few small fish.
Since the windows will be very visible to the passing traffic I chose to
make them very graphic and readable from a distance. This is why they
each have a different color background and why the images are very large
and simple. It is also why the color is so bold. I would describe my work as
a colorful,joyous mix of the abstract and the recognizable.
It's very difficult to depict stained glass in a rendering since it's
impossible to show the transparency of the glass. These windows would
have strong color but also be able to be seen through. Changing weather,
passing birds, time of day and year will all affect the look of the windows.
Stained glass would be very vibrant in this location during the day and lit up
on the exterior of the building at night and thus highly visible to the passing
traffic.
I would make these windows with handmade colored glass from
Germany that would be painted with black glass paint. I also acid etch or
sandblast the glass for additional detail. It requires no maintenance aside
from an occasional cleaning. The color is in the glass and all paint is fired on
in the kiln and permanent. The stained glass would be laminated to pieces of
plate glass with optically clear, non-yellowing RTV silicone that expands
and contracts with extreme temperatures. This is a much more modern look
than traditional stained glass. The stained glass is installed inside the
building against the exterior windows so it is not exposed to the weather.
I have had experience working with many different committees and
communities. Some projects required ongoing communication and
adjustments to the design and other commissions went from design approval
to installation without any changes. I have worked successfully with both
groups. All my projects have been completed on time and on budget and I
fabricate all my own work.
This is a great location for stained glass and I believe it would be
beautiful both in the interior of the fire station and for the passing traffic. I
hope you will give me this opportunity to work in Conch Key.
