Photos show a large glass sculpture, by Vernon Brejcha, that we finished today for University of Kansas Hospital’s new Cancer Center. It’s in the old Sprint Headquarters, which is a pretty big joint.  There are some interesting stories from that time about one of Sprint’s former execs and the IRS, but I’ll not go there. However I believe the upshot was louder than a pin-drop. What I don’t get though, is when someone has more houses than they can live in, a private jet, and god-knows-what-else, why income tax evasion? Maybe like Bogart said to Edward G. Robinson in Key Largo: “What is it you want, Johnnie? I tell you what you want: More.”Â
But we all have our faults, including me.Â
100 pieces of glass on this pup. 600 lbs. Took two days to install, but I didn’t do it. Erin Holliday led the project, with my two sons assisting. Erin’s one of the best glass installers I know–when she isn’t running the Mattie Rhodes Art Center. Me? I just take bad pictures.  Better pictures will follow. Grand Opening next week.
