translating glass into glass

I’ve been lucky enough to have traveled to quite a few churches around the world, to glimpse just a bit of their sacred and secular beauty, and I have to say at this moment in my life, John La Farge’s The Resurrection (1902) for Trinity Church in the City of Boston is one that moves me most. It has been a pleasure to work collaboratively with colleagues there and with design companies to identify ways to translate, if only in a tiny way, such beauty in stained glass to items that people might like to take home or share with others.
I still love producing postcards and prints but I think this translation of the image onto a collectible oval glass ornamentĀ is especially striking given La Farge’s mastery of designing with the interplay of layered glass, paint and the effect of light always in mind. When you’re in the area, please see the window for yourself by visiting the church. Ā Learn more here: http://trinitychurchboston.org/visit/tours. Ā The oval ornament can be found in the church gift shop.

It has become an unintended experiment in observation, to see what happens to this rose over time. How the light strikes it. Where the shadows fall. Given to me as part of a bouquet over a month ago, it now rests upon a bed of shells that I have been collecting for a future art installation. More in the future about the rose and the installation.
what to do with parsley

That’s what I googled last night because somehow, and I don’t know how it happened, my indoor winter gardenĀ produced a lot of parsley. The recipe that called to me was for an Isreali Tomato and Cucumber Salad. My variation on the theme was to chop up some red and green peppers, English cucumber, tomatoes, the parsley, a little garlic andĀ red onion, and mix with lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper. A simple salad. š

… there’s a company called Usful Glassworks. Recycled glass is transformed into lovely, useful items.
