JW MARRIOTT marquis, Miami
Glass wave in green
In the fall of 2010, JW Marriott Marquis unveiled their newest luxury hotel in downtown Miami, a 41 story, 80,000 sq. ft. tower with three concierge levels. As part of an extensive art package, I was commissioned to create a 15' x 2.5', backlit glass wall sculpture for the third level, just outside of the Grand Ballroom. With placement next to an enormous window, we knew the stained glass would have beautiful illumination from the side, but by mounting the artwork on a light-box, the goal was to enhance the piece with a subtle glow that would intensify as the daylight fades into evening.
