Today Wendell Berry died. Eleven years ago I made this window for a gallery exhibition, using an excerpt from one of his poems…
“And the world cannot be discovered by a journey of miles, no matter how long, but only by a spiritual, a journey of one inch, very arduous and humbling and joyful, by which we arrive at the ground at our own feet, and learn to be at home.”

In the late 1800s, Victorian bird medallion windows were stylish, and in my opinion they’ve never gone out of style! I love them! This window utilized salvaged glass from the New Glasgow Sears store! The originals would’ve been made in the United Kingdom and shipped over.
