Most of my designs for glass use figures in "landscapes" in much the same way as heraldry uses signs and symbols on "fields" - as a language for expressing ideas. The traditional techniques of fired paint and stain are used in particular way to direct the natural, often seductive, eloquence of raw glass to make images with precise meanings. This seems to result in windows in which people, finding themselves on what looks like familiar ground, are able to find different levels of meaning.
