Pharrell Helps Conceive Glass Angel Skeleton

Neptunes' producer Pharrell Williams continues to expand his artistic vision, most recently helping design a life-size glass angel skeleton for the Glastress show at the Berengo Centre for Contemporary Art and Glass in Murano, Italy.

Collaborating with the renowned Berengo Studio, Pharrell helped conceive the 6 foot angel depiction, named "Inside Out," which consists of two glass skeletons complete with feathered angel wings.

Pharrell described the thought process behind the design.

"Since I was a little boy my wonderous curiosities were based on fictional things that television offered,” he said. “My mind was crammed pack with creatures fit for a child that were often funny, designed for youth, and usually a profitable franchise like cartoons. Even still, I couldn't stop thinking about angels.”

In related news, Skateboard P will be honored by ASCAP at their annual Film and Television Music Awards on June 23 for his contributions to the soundtrack for the animated film Despicable Me.
