Though a bit outside the realm of stained glass, Tom Fruin’s steel and plexiglass sculptures evoke the dazzling color and light displays inherent to the stained glass medium. These watertowers, as well as his Kolonihavehus sculpture located in Copenhagen, assert themselves architecturally, evoking shapes familiar to their surroundings that are also fanciful and fun in their play of color and light. These sculptures were supposedly temporary installations but it seems some or all are still in place. We will have to look for them the next time we are in NYC!
