Stain & Light is an exploration of colour, texture, luminosity and light refraction. I was influenced by old English and French stained glass artisans of the 16th Century to the present day craftsman, along with Medieval tapestries. I wanted the lyrical quality, clear shapes of colour without the heavy religious connotation or heavy leaded line. I also chose to mount some of them as simply and as lightly as possibly with sewn canvas on dowel with rope and tassel instead of stretched over a frame to remind us of the tapestries of old.
