Installation piece

My piece entitled 'Comma Separated Values' is in the architectural kiln this weekend. This is a piece about glass, perspective, ambiguity, and language (Download a more expansive version of this). Will it work? I can't possibly make it again if it goes wrong. I think I have linished and washed 300 lenses to make it; two attempts at making a mould to contain it. Here's me making a clay outline, and the piece assembled in a plaster mould in the kiln. In one's mind the assembly can be done by morning coffee, but I had to negotiate round people blowing in the hotshop. It took till 3 p.m. when we get thrown out on a Friday, and I rushed at the end and feel very tense about how it will turn out.
