The
typical medieval cathedral window tended to be very big with a
riot of shapes and colors, all competing for the viewer’s
attention. We can all see the genius of the whole design, but
may not understand the power and equal genius of the
borders and medallions that are the building blocks of the whole.
I hope you enjoy these ‘reproductions’ of those borders
and medallions as much as I do. Most of the designs are taken
from Victorian idealized reconstructions of the medieval forms
and, occasionally, my own redrawing of the originals, to make
the ‘reading’ of them more enjoyable.
All the panels shown are offered with hardwood frames. Each panel is very
much individually cut, painted and leaded. No two are exactly
alike; for me, the joy is in the process, and I love what I do.
