One question that was clear in my archive research is 'where are the women?'
That changes now with this stunning depiction of the virtues by Irish artist Wilhelmina Geddes (1887-1955)
Her last commission before her death, this really is a poignant piece that was installed in St Paul's, Battersea.
She never got to see the window in situ, but her collegues at The Glass House studio ensured it was finished to her exacting standards, never wavering from her style or intent. The original now resides at the Stained Glass Museum at Ely Cathedral.
When approaching this piece, I have changed the background to a marbled glass, with a warm palette to highlight the images, yet keep the original intent. Finished with a washi border and decorative metal corners, it's a statement piece with a history behind it, made for the contemporary eye.
