Piedmont Medical Center

In 2022, Emily was commissioned to design and create three 7’x7’ acrylic abstract canvas panels to hang in the lobby of the new Piedmont Medical Center located in Fort Mill, SC. In addition to creating the panels, Emily designed a spiraling, recycled glass installation to play off of the color palette and organic movements of the paintings. Each of the 400 + glass pieces were cut into rings from recycled glass bottles, and then hand fused into organic circular shapes using several small-scale microwave kilns. The spiraling composition was designed to fit the architecture of the space, highlighting the height and cylindrical nature of the column behind the installation. The glass installation also played off other natural tones, textures and spiraling compositions within the lobby.
