Symphony of Lights Revised Edition : St. John the Evangelist Anglican Church and Stained Glass in London, ON

Abstract

In this revised addition of the exhibition’s catalogue, we retain the core principals of recording our experiences at St. John the Evangelist, but we expand and revise the content as our knowledge of the stained glass arts in Canada has significantly advanced over the past few years. Informed by the beneficial criticism and suggestions by the anonymous peer-reviewers, as our revised title suggests, we have expanded the content to better situate the extensive stained glass collection at St. John’s within the border context of the London community and beyond. In this revised text Anahí González has updated her artists statement and captured new images of several of the recently stored windows at St. John’s while also including her mesmerizing photographs of stained glass works from across London including the four monumental Tiffany Glass & Co. windows installed at St. Paul’s Cathedral. These photographs are contextualized by Cody Barteet’s newly written section on the stained glass history of London and his recent work on Christopher Wallis. Complementing his new additions and revisions, are Iraboty Kazi’s updates to the life and career of Yvonne Williams.
