Toney is responsible for the\n1,400-square-foot stained glass ceiling that was in Terminal 3 from when it\nopened in 1979 to when that section of the terminal closed for modernization in\nlate 2016.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, the glass installation lives again as it is repurposed\nfor this new artwork.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Toney is known for the creation of uniquely designed stained\nglass windows in several Phoenix-area churches and the original Maricopa County\nCourthouse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The type of art glass Toney uses is called Dalle de verre,\nwhich is also known as slab glass. The material is substantial: It\u2019s produced\nby casting molten glass into 1-inch-thick slabs, 8-by-12 inches. The edges are\noften chipped or faceted to increase the reflection or refraction of light\npassing through. Glass window and wall panels are fabricated by arranging cut\nshapes of slab glass into the desired pattern and then a matrix of epoxy,\nsilica and aggregate is poured between the pieces to adhere them together. Once\ndried and cured, the panels are strong and durable and can be arranged in a\nmetal framework.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The geometric design of the new stained glass wall is in the\nsame symmetrical arrangement as when it was a ceiling inside Terminal 3. It\nwill now be a major way-finding exterior element, viewable on the north curb of\nthe terminal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This installation is a part of the permanent Phoenix Airport\nMuseum collection, which, at more than 900 pieces, is one of the largest\nairport art collections in the United States.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Terminal 3 at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport is still undergoing its modernization program but a classic look will complement its new appearance with the debut of a new stained glass wall.
