"Support"

66" tall x 12 " in diameter welded steel and inscribed glass and fritt.
Slag glass was drilled and skewered onto 3 rods horizontally. The words read;
Dependent   for   support

gaudy   glint   glamour

thin   ice

The third row of glass chunks has ÒfallenÓ off as described by thin ice, into an area filled with small glass bits (fritt).

Originally I was distressed by a friend's marriage break up and worried about her ability to make it in life without support. I then investigated how much support was necessary in relationships- quite a bit- running in many directions. I had thought of the glamor trap and how so many people used it, thinking of course, that I hadn't. Oh.
