Modern Gothic Cathedral stains
Mirrors in church space have a voice: they envelop and shape the mood of visitors. However, because of their fragility, not all of them survive through centuries and come to their place the work of modern craftsmen. For example, in the same cathedral, historical and modern windows may be nearby, creating a unique visual dialogue. This book is a visual study of the phenomenon of modern glasses in church space.
The book contains three major blocks of meaning, each dedicated to one Gothic temple in England, which contains both old and modern windows. I have selected three such temples: the Westminster Abbey, the Gloucester Cathedral, and the Ripon Cathedral.
Each block first describes the architectural features of the temple and the historical windows it contains. This is followed by a list of contemporary artists who created windows for this cathedral. A brief biography is provided and each author ' s creativity is explained. After that, the glass made for the cathedral is described in detail.
The book repeats the same pattern as on the cover: the sliced shapes that represent the window windows.
