One of the most striking qualities of stained glass is the immediacy with which colour is experienced by the eye.

The effect is really that of illumination: glowing light drawn down into an interior.

For, unlike painting with pigments, the extraordinary visual intensity achieved with stained glass is the result of transmitted as opposed to reflected light.

It is this unique quality that makes it eminently suited as a medium for exploring abstract colour.
