Glass 3 again

Very consuming, this installation.
In the image below matte, dirty glass in a slightly muted morning light. There is a forest fire, somewhere in the Jemez, the distant ranges have a blue, fuzzy tinge to them. A distant view, the stone steps on the right are a fragment of what I have been staggering up with sheets of glass:


Closer, from the other side:


The glass is dirty, I am very cautious about cleaning and applying textures to it. view at sunrise:


I did spray some DW40 along the top (just happened to have some in my pocket), and let it trickle down without wiping:


The trickle-down effect after an extended visit to photoshop:


This is where I stand right now. I cannot tell how vulnerable to the wind this piece is. Spring (our official wind season) is nearly over, but we are expecting some severe windy weather in the next few days. The glass wobbles dramatically when the wind is strong -- I will have to get some video footage of that. I hope that I will have a chance to both affect and see affected by the elements the surfaces of this piece before it breaks. Rain would be nice...will it ever rain again.
