Lonnie Hanzon: Almost 12 !

2011

Are we there yet? Are we here yet? Almost.

We will makes some notes on 2011 and then enter the wonderful re-invention of 2012.

"Winter's Work" was an assemblage' created for the Denver Young Artists Orchestra. It is titled "Harmonic Syzygy" ( I privately called the project "Chewing on a Cello". After showing in many places for many months, it was auctioned off last weekend.

There were several projects at
MOA's Samson Park and Fiddler's Green Amphitheatre including wild flags,

a 16 ft. x 32 ft. mural,

and a new grand entrance for Samson Park.

I started some super top secret ( but very fun product development ) work for The Tremblay Group,

and was honored to create a glass sculpture titled Rising for the Denver Hospice Inpatient Facility at Lowry (through the the great people at NINE dots ARTS)

As usual, the good folks at Bella Glass helped with glass fabrication services, and Devin Gores of Public Works did a great job on the metal portion. Jordan at Design Crete made the wonderful black pedestel, and our friends at Weidamark provides the led light fixtures.

I got my Christmas fix when invited by the City of Dallas and Neiman Marcus to help them celebrate the kick off to the Holiday Season in Dallas.
Neiman Marcus put up the first tree I created for them in 2001.

The event is so big now it takes place in a downtown park! Laurie at Reinders provided the cascading lights that lit up Main Street.

40,000 people joined the festivities that night! Santa arrive in style -
zip-lining down 6 stories to the park.
And construction started on our new studio addition to the house.
Luckily, Terry held down the fort when I ran to New York.
There is nothing like the city during the Holidays.

This is a photo of me taking a photo of a photographer on rollerblades that has just taken a photograph of the photographers shooting the Van Clef & Arpels Window...
The Genius at Bergdorf Goodman

Bergdorf Goodman Mens

Notice Turkish-esque Mirror device in this BG window. Now notice the mirror piece sitting on the floor of Andy Warhol's Factory. They are not exactly the same, but I would BET the same maker.
