Martin Blank's installation Fluent Steps is coming along outside the Tacoma Museum of Glass. It should be completed this weekend.

"The proposed sculpture will capture the play of light and water echoing the Pacific Northwest's unique environment."

-Timothy Close, Director/CEO, Museum of Glass in "Martin Blank Reflecting Pool Proposal booklet.

"My intent with this installation is to awaken the viewer's eye to keenly observe, interact and respond to the emotive nature of water. Water is the vehicle for capturing light, motion, time, fluidity and transparency. It can be placid, sublime, and in an instant a tremendous surge of raw power. This installation is a visual exploration capturing the chase between the macro and micro qualities of water using glass as a conduit to translate my thoughts."
