About the Project

When it is time to move, usually our art goes with our clients. In this case, the Walthalls moved over several of their pieces and commissioned a new one, Falling Leaves. The Walthall residence blends modern with an old-world feeling.

Falling Leaves is a piece composed of suspended, hand-sculpted, and illuminated leaves in front of the fireplace. This piece plays beautifully with the light of the day and then illuminates at night.

The gold chandelier has a canopy designed to fit above the table perfectly in shape and proportion. The glass hangs organically. Each glass piece is grained with a gold color which sparkles subtly in the natural light. For the weaving, Carlyn combines the room’s colors and blends them together in a soft gradation from blues, and teals, to purples. Mr. Walthall loves the diagonal mast of the dark red woven with copper wire. The balloons give a modern flair to the room as one balloon slips from the cluster and flies away.
