Second Murano Hotel Art Piece - The Glass Forest?
Yesterday, the Tacoma City Council voted on a resolution concerning the large glass safety pin like art piece. (By the way, the official form is a "Ladel." The old art piece is in storage.)
Here is a close up. Does anyone have any idea what this will be?
(I see today they have knocked a hole out on the side of the hotel where the art piece will be. May be a second entrance)We will see. I am sure it is supposed to all work together.
