FRAMING WOOD

where: Dals Långed, Sweden

Glass in lead has been around for many decades and has changed mostly in style. I wanted to capture the same essence in a new material. A material that is as versatile as it can be; wood. In churches lead glass was mainly used to display biblical stories and or picture holy events. For the people this was a means of understanding the stories if you could not read. The goal was to take stained glass out of the biblical connotation and portray the point in time we are at right now; Where we have animals still walking around while simultaneously building cities and industries quickly. We cannot foresee what will be the situation in a couple of years. I want to capture the turning point we are at right now for future reference.
