Description

One afternoon, on a visit to the Cloisters Museum in Manhattan, New York, I took pictures of some of the stained glass windows. It was a dark afternoon and the pictures didn't turn out very well, but the colors were so rich and beautiful I really wanted to use them for something. Digital manipulations of those images became the series I'm calling Medieval Tiles.

Colored glass has been popular for centuries for use in windows and household items such as drinking glasses. The earliest forms of colored glass were caused by impurities in the sand used to produce the glass. Later, colors were introduced deliberately into glass by addition of minerals or metals during the production process. Medieval stained glass windows were used primarily in churches and cathedrals built in Europe from the tenth to the sixteenth century.

The Cloisters, at the northern tip of Manhattan, is affiliated with the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The buildings which form the Cloisters were medieval structures from various parts of Europe which were brought in pieces and reassembled here to form the museum complex.
