Located on the north side of the third floor atrium of the Culver City City Hall, Ed Carpenter's stained glass screens are an abstract representation of a hanging garden. The artist intended the artwork to serve both a functional and artistic purpose -- as a wind barrier and light filter -- and as a visual bridge connecting the upper floors of City Hall's main facade. Dichroic glass (glass that has been fused with various metal oxides) has been incorporated into the design, which lends to the overall sparkle and iridescence of the work.
Ed Carpenter studied at the University of California at Santa Barbara and at UC Berkeley. He is based in Portland, Oregon and has completed many public art projects including Architectural Glass Window (1994) for the City of Los Angeles, and Ojo (1997) for the City of New York.
