About the Artwork
This artwork by Diane Bonciolini is a series of nine window-shaped fused glass sculptures. Six of the windows show different highlights of elementary school such as reading, writing, recess, library, math, and science. The other three windows represent views of the community and the meaning of "home". Bonciolini notes, "My intent for these windows is to both visually and intellectually stimulate, engage, and stretch the minds of the students to experience different levels of thought and understanding."
This artwork was acquired for the State Art Collection in partnership with Lakewood School District.

It is colorful, seductive and lively with the ability to change shape and form whenever it is heated. It is a magical material."Bonciolini has attended Pilchuck Glass School (Stanwood, Washington), Penland School of Crafts (North Carolina), and Pratt Fine Arts Center (Seattle, Washington). She teaches in the glass studio at the Bainbridge Artisans Resource Network (BARN) on Bainbridge Island, on Puget Sound, Western Washington.
