Painting With Light

Stained glass can be traced back in time for centuries, and from the Middle Ages on, has flourished as an art form. Besides design, proportion, tonal control, and color, the "canvas" of the stained glass artist must be appreciated, for stained glass is the only art form that relies entirely on light for its effect. Every other art form, from painting and sculpture to tapestry and jewellery, is designed to be appreciated by reflected light and thus the artist controls his shapes and colors knowing that the purely physical reflection in the spectator's eye will be exactly as he plans it. With a stained glass piece, however, the artist must control a powerful energy which will be transmitted through his medium of expression. The artist must paint with light itself. ~Lawrence Lee, Stained Glass
