'Word'   




Title:  'Word' Description:  This project comprises an etched glass diptych and war memorial. The diptych panels measure 1.6m(H) x 560mm(W) x 40mm(D). The glass has been acid etched and sandblasted, and is illuminated by internal flourescent lighting.
Client:  St. Bride's Church
Architect:  Sir Christopher Wren
Restoration:  Tangram
Location:  Fleet Street, London, England.

These etched glass panels are installed in the Medieval Chapel at Saint Bride's Church, Fleet Street. Saint Bride's is the journalists church, and the design makes reference to the tools of newspaper making. These images are supported by an abstract pattern of random type faces. The design makes a connection between the 'word' as understood by journalists and the 'Word' as practiced in church. The Medieval Chapel is an intimate and contemplative space in the heart of London. It is dedicated to the journalists killed in World War One and World War Two.
"In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God and the word was God."
John ch 1 v 1
