project: Sunflower in Glass

Sunflower in Glass, a work in art glass and copper, 3 x 3 ft.


Tuck’s Sunflower in Glass was commissioned by interior designer Cheryl Rivera for installation in the Oregon home of Sandy MacNab, where it hangs on a wall in the dining room. The art work is spot-lit by wall sconces to left and right, and also illuminated by the chandelier over the dining room table.

Serving as a piece of room jewelry, Tuck’s Sunflower in Glass puts on a splendid display for the human eye — both day and night — through a continuous interplay with the natural and artificial light in the dining area.

Tuck completed the art glass-and-copper Sunflower in October 2009.
