From the artist:

If you start looking, you would be surprised how many windows you find lying by the side of the road. Art and design elements have been applied to the discarded windows included in my work, transforming them into items of beauty. 

After an experiment with an antique window hanging untouched in my kitchen for years, I found myself returning to the visuals I could achieve with acrylic paints on the reverse of recycled windows. In this medium, I saw an ideal presentation for bold colors and geometric patterns. 

My process starts with selective removal of imperfections in the windows. Sanding, priming, removing hardware, turning the item into a canvas. Once prepared, detailed work begins taping lines, razoring edges, layering paints in reverse, color selection,  meticulously scraping away mistakes, and often planning depth effect using multiple panes and maximizing the interplay between matte and glossy using the reverse and foreground of the glass. 

Several themes have presented themselves in these works, some architectural, some representational, and some purely design. These works have allowed me to transform and reuse otherwise discarded items.

Eddie Hall is an abstract artist in Berlin, Connecticut creating works using recycled windows which exhibit vibrant colors and geometric patterns. These works draw inspiration from architectural and design themes.
