Fantastic piece with such a creative structural approach - so perfectly aligned for the topic. Will be thinking for a long time on the contrast inherent in such a delicate but physically immense craft, and the way that this project merges what I've prejudiced as a hard/aggressive passion (car culture) with the beautiful, graceful spirituality I read in stained glass (as a raised-in-church gal myself). Actually LOL'd at Judith's conclusion; just such a good final note!
Judith brought the levity, for sure! Serious craftsperson but beautifully irreverent approach to something even she considers so spiritual. Thanks for your thoughts :)
Thank you for this! Everyone was absolutely wonderful to speak with. I learned lots, especially about the economics of stained glass – how the art form is handed down (lots of workshop-inheritance, fathers-teaching-sons kind of thing) and how/where it gets administered. The specificity to religious contexts, and seeing where and when in history it veers into more public/secular realms (plus who's paying for it) was all so fascinating. Glad you enjoyed, and very glad for your thoughts!

Thanks so much for the kind note! Seth and Emily get all the credit here—love getting to share interesting work like this.
