Glass tiles and copper on fiberglass. 10 by 3 1/2 feet The artist recalls: "What was most challenging was how heavy and awkward the guitar became very quickly. I would become stuck and unable to proceed because I couldn’t move it on my own... it took three firefighters, a therapist, a carpenter and two brothers to carry the thing and load it into the truck!" Aly Winningham is a passionate master of glass and skilled welder. Surrounded by art and artists as a child, she studied many forms of art before finding her true calling in metal and glass.
