With the opening of the new main terminal of the Portland International Airport (PDX) on August 14, my glass artwork, Between, will be open to the public. The piece encompasses two glass walls (each 11’ tall x 56’ long) centrally-located within the spectacular new terminal designed by ZGF and built by Hoffman Construction + Skanska USA. Visible from both the security queuing area and the concourse connector passeway, the walls were expertly fabricated by glasmalereipeters in Germany. Special thanks to RACC and PDX Next for all their guidance and support throughout the course of this project.
