Super Awesome sculpture, commissioned in 1986 - offering a window to the forest. Looks gorgeous when the sun shines through it but also looks different through the seasons - so worth looking at more than once!
Here’s what it’s all about according to the Artist 👩🏼🎨 Kevin Atherton:
“Although consisting of one large window 15 feet high by 10 feet across, Cathedral is not just about itself as an example of the art of stained glass. The undeniably attractive qualities of stained glass are in this instance secondary to the idea of placing the window in the forest. Operating as a visual trigger, the window is intended to serve to connect mentally the concepts of two separate spaces, the ‘forest’ and the ‘cathedral’. Amongst the common features shared between forest and cathedral is the way that they are affected by natural light. In both cases there exists a darker, interior light, in the spectator’s space, surrounded by a brighter, outside light. This is an essential ingredient, fundamental to the viewing of stained glass and, as applied in Cathedral means that in order to see the window properly the viewer has to enter into the forest.”
