Fractured Light
Fractured Light
A gothic window, broken and put back together. Shards of red, yellow, blue and green sit among soft flesh tones, held in a web of black lines that runs wild across the glass. The ragged black frame, spattered at its edges, looks as if it was thrown up in a hurry. It is a sacred form made fragile, and it is still standing. Light does what it has always done in a church window, but there are no saints here, only the fractures and the things that hold them together.
Enamels are screen printed onto a single sheet of glass, so the colours glow when light passes through and the black linework stays sharp. The glass stands on a freestanding hardwood base, ready to display on a desk, shelf or sideboard.
Details: Enamel screenprint on single sheet of glass, freestanding hardwood base. Portrait format, glass size 42 × 17 cm (16.5 × 6.7 in), height by width. Handmade by the artist.
