Holy
Trinity Parish Church, Wentworth
I
sought to explore the design theme of “Moor land” and the design to be
exemplified in the verse “ I am the resurrection and the life” and to
celebrate the constant or “ Our Lord the Redeemer” within the symbolic
representation of form and colour. As well as including aspects of Wentworth
estate and its community; Mr Canby’s job as land agent, also his fondness
for the moor land landscape.
With the inclusion of moor land wildlife and fawner; I sort to express
the narrative of God’s constant presence within the nature world. Principally
the inclusion of birds as they representing mans soul within the physical
world; in flight they symbolise the winged soul and the ascension to heaven.
Lincoln
Cathedral, 2002
Free
standing sculpture, selected for fabrication; in the commemoration of
St. Hugh in the 800th year of his association with the cathedral and the
celebration of St. Hugh’s life and achievements. Within the piece of St.
Hugh’s swan I sought to express and reflect aspects of Bishop Hugh’s character
and his journey to his canonisation in 1220.
I
used both traditional & contemporary techniques, kiln formation for
the swans head, bas relief to form the feathers with metal inclusions
within the back plate: traditional painting within the back plate and
then all leaded up and consolidated.

Design
inspiration come from a community design competition; held by the parish;
evolving from psalms 46: children of the parish, drew what they wanted
to feature with the window also, as part of a school project.
I
took the aerial typography of the area, by the way of creativity bring
all the design ideas together and for the window to still have a religious
narrative.

In the design brief, the client wanted
firstly for the window to be aesthetically sympathetic to his home built
in the 1880; they also wanted one rose for each of his 3 daughters in
specified colours. After a period of consultation, I took my inspiration
from the Arts & Craft movement to visualise the final design, selected
for fabrication.
