Windows

.5″ x 2″, found objects

There was a mural in Allston when I was growing up  that I absolutely loved.  In fact, I think it’s still there. Though faded now, it shows windows on a large brick wall, and through each window you can see a scene inside.  Cats, people, couches… there’s another similar mural on Newbury street with portraits of stars in the windows.  And in both cases, the windows are false or boarded up.  It’s just an imagined life inside.  Here in the US, unlike in the Netherlands, shades are drawn as soon as it gets dark, and you have to imagine what’s happening inside other people’s homes.  This pendant shows empty windows, ready for you to project your imagined reality, and a central window glowing with bright amber light.
