DESCRIPTION
I proposed this design for a glass panel to be created for above the fireplace in the first floor lobby of the Brickman Center at Bryn Athyn College. The image features the Alpha & Omega symbol which is associated with the College and the Bryn Athyn community. The artwork would be created on mirrored glass with laminated pigments and gilding. The installation features interactive lighting elements. See details below.

The faint imagery in the background includes drawings for the stained glass panels in the Bryn Athyn Cathedral which depict the succession of churches. Adding a further textural layer the writings of Swedenborg appear in latin text. As the viewer approaches the artwork proximity sensors trigger embedded lights. The words "Nunc Licet" and the image of the "Open Word" gradually become visible.
