Glass Artist Shares Talent With Lombardi Community
May 14, 2007
Northern Ireland glass artist Andrea Spencer completed her two week residency at Lombardi on Friday, May 11. Working with patients and staff, Spencer developed techniques to make glass art accessible to the Lombardi community.
The staff of the infusion clinic on 5 North drew designs on special paper that Spencer then sandblasted onto a piece of glass. The work will hang by the check-in desk on 5 North as a reminder of Spencer's visit.
Spencer also worked with community members in the Lombardi Atrium to develop a project incorporating copper designs into glass tiles. Each person designed one tile with etched messages on top. This piece will hang in the Atrium.
Spencer visited Lombardi as part of the Rediscover Northern Ireland program, which kicked off in Washington, D.C. on St. Patrick's Day and will continue until the Smithsonian Folklife Festival in late June.
At Lombardi, the Northern Ireland exchange began in March with two artists from Northern Ireland who spent three weeks writing and composing with the Lombardi community. Other events included a visit from Cahoots NI, a children’s theater group, and an Arts in Health Care Symposium featuring Lorna Hastings, director of ArtsCare of Northern Ireland.
