This stained glass window was made by William Lightfoot Price, though we don’t know exactly when. Look at the way the lead lines form an image, it’s a bit like drawing, isn’t it? I imagine Price thinking about light, how it would shift and change throughout the day, catching on the different textured surfaces of the glass. A figure with a spear walks across a landscape. He's really simplified. Sort of like a drawing but made of colored light, and the figure has a really strong silhouette. It's so interesting how the artist decided what to leave out, it makes you wonder about the choices that they made. I wonder what story they wanted to tell. I like imagining the artist and all their decisions, all the stuff that happened, their whole life, and how it led to this little pocket of time.
