The pieces of stained glass to me are some of the most mesmorising pieces the Detroit Institute of Arts (DIA) holds - you'll find the majority up on level 3 as you set outside the lifts - the lights behind them bright and welcoming you over. The work, the skill and the beauty that went into creating such early pieces astonishes me every time I visit. Rarely do I sit and just look at anything for a long period of time, in a gallery or otherwise but stained glass just grabs my attention - it feels so alive. Every time you look you notice something else, some detailed and something different. From the detailing upon a hand, the text upon a book or the lines around a person's eyes - it really is all about the details. Somewhat fitting I think for a Friday as we approach a weekend when we can hopefully relax a little, step away from the emails, loose ourselves in a couple of netflix shows.
Have a lovely weekend everyone!
