Siobhan was able to incorporate many types of glass within the colour scheme to generate this dynamic. The glass appears to shift and move in the light as one approaches and moves away from the piece. This window changes with both proximity and weather creating and ever moving dynamic.

Originally it was created to provide privacy from an adjacent neighbour. Siobhan and the client worked together to develop a general design concept and colour scheme that complimented the surrounding space and decor. This window is set on the landing of a staircase. Located in a corridor part of the design process was to create a piece that reflects an architectural sense of flow. Custom Kitchen WindowIt might not look that big but this piece is 18" x 36". The kitchen window is 36" x 54". Originally, the brick on the neighbours’ house was covered with ivy and very picturesque. The ivy was removed because it was damaging the brickwork.

The aim of this stained glass project was to push the brick into the background and bring some life to the foreground. 
Two very different roads can lead to the same destination. My clients had diverse preferences when we discussed this piece. She leaned towards natural, asymmetrical artistic styles and he toward classic Victorian patterns that would complement the other features of their Victorian style home. Together we worked to develop an innovative design that bound both of their preferences into the panel "Earth and Sky". The essential balance that nature must maintain between the forces of the earth and the sky, the water and the land, are all captured in this piece. Structured through an hourglass motif, the physical balance of each component reflects the more formal dynamic in the home's architecture that he was seeking.
