Stained Glass

Earlier this quarter we went to look at some beautiful stained glass at one of Evanston's local churches. The stained glass within the church utilized an old medium in combination with new forms, ideas, and motifs in order to create an incredibly original design. In my everyday exploration of the interweb I came across another use of stained glass that uses that takes the medium out of its usual habitat and places it a new environment. By creatively using this stained glass the artist is able to tap in to the history and feelings that is attributed to stained glass, while simultaneously creating contrast by putting it in a bar. The visual and emotional contrast is effective in making the piece stand out and promotes the creativity of the artwork. Check it out and let me know what you think....
