“What is more generous than a window?”
- Pat Schneider, The Patience of Ordinary Things
The power and importance of a window is to bring light into a space, and to provide a perspective through a stationary lens. Through My Window explores transitions in life, relationships, new environments, a new home, new opportunities—all new windows. Painting a window recognizes its ability to show a beautiful view, transforming functionality into beauty. Windows have two points of view, looking out and looking in. Through My Window focuses on looking out, to new opportunities, and looking with positivity from the foundation and security of a home. By painting a window and using elements such as; transferred images, fabric, plastic streamers and stained glass, Through My Window recreates a scene, memory, or mood. Portraying a positive experience, a generous gift of what life can bring.
