glass walkway
[slideshow id=29]
Walter Gordinier is a local visual artist that creates functional pieces of art out of glass. Gordinier’s concept of functional art glass was conceived in 1989 and since then while working with architects and interior designers, he has produced amazing works of art that function as stairs, walkways, countertops and walls. I had a chance to see some of Gordinier’s work in action on a recent tour of a beautiful Lake Oswego home. The stairs leading to the main living space are Gordinier glass and the bridge on the second floor loft walkway have panels of art glass that glow when illuminated below showing off their beautiful colors. Gordinier uses a mix of granite, stone, glass, metals, lighting and wood in the production of his functional artwork and does everything from concept designs with clients to installation. The artist is also known for his self described “monolithic” atrium aerial sculptures which are indeed large beautiful works of art.
