Stained Glass Art - Moons 2008

Moons 2008
This stained glass panel was based on an anecdote by John Betjeman of a quotation by Tennyson, and was my first large scale attempt at acid etching a large piece of flashed glass. Using collage and the inverting facility on a photocopier, I was able to create a screenprint negative of the image which was applied in bitumen to the glass before dunking it in the acid bath for etching. The wall in the foreground is created from a piece of window (float) glass also etched and abraded. Once again I ended up with a 3D piece and not just a flat panel.
