Project Artist(s): Deb Lowe2005
Hospital staff wanted to create a calming atmosphere for the designated Quiet Room, a space for contemplation and reflection and/or prayer, a refuge from busy clinical areas. This room would be open to all who wished to use it including staff, patients and visitors. The glass artist was asked to create a stained glass window using natural elements including water in the design and to incorporate clear areas where viewers could look out the window if they wished. The resulting stained glass window is delicately and intricately detailed with beautifully observed natural forms including pebbles, water, flora and fauna.
