Beauchene Crane 12.75’’ x 12.75”
The Beauchene Crane represents an ‘exploded’ or folded out origami crane on the first plane. Soldered onto the top are five two dimensional ‘folded’ cranes. Five in Japanese is go - which to me represents moving forward.
The piece, with frame, measures 12.75 x 12.75 inches square and is comprised of 108 individual pieces. The background is made of 48 pieces of clear seed glass and aqua water glass. The cranes are 12 pieces each in glass including solid, water glass, cathedral glass, and striated glass.
