|
The Creation Rose (West Rose), 1976 Artist: Rowan LeCompte The creation theme for the west rose was adopted by the Cathedral Chapter in 1935. It is a ten petal rose. Rowan LeCompte chose to make the window in pure color and free form taking his cue from the Book of Genesis “and the earth was without form and void and darkness was upon the face of the deep” ...”and God said, Let there be light”. The center of the window has deep mysterious colors with a single piece of burning white glass at its core. From this center the light radiates outward and the colors of the window turn brighter as the eye moves towards the outer petals. While the predominant color is blue, it has large areas of fall colors. — Jewels of Light |
