Description
(2003-4) 3'x1.5' Stained glass, copper foil and lead solder with cut crystals, agate slivers, silver wire and nylon thread

I custom-made these four windows for the arches of my two study windows and our two dining-room windows at the front of our house. They depict the elements of Fire, Water, Earth and Air respectively. Each window has some gaps in the glass panels, where I have hung cut glass crystals. The crystals catch the afternoon and evening sun and cast dozens of rainbows inside the rooms.

For the Earth panel I also used cut agate slivers among the glass to indicate the affinity to the element of Earth. Each window bears the alchemistical elemental triangle symbol appropriate to it in the bottom corner.

For the image I have manipulated four individual photographs to show all of the arches together in one picture.
