Description:
This window is 18' tall and 89' long, situated on the 19th floor of a 53 story building. The window symbolically depicts Clare's life, the effect Francis had on it, and lessons for people today. Clare's spiritual journey begins on the left with purple forms suggesting the "seeds" of Clare's spirituality. The blue which flows through the window symbolizes God's nurturing. The depicted stepping stones become transformed and become the backdrop for the tabernacle in the Eucharistic Chapel. The windows were fabricated with Lamberts full antique glasses and clear textured glasses. The art panels were installed on the interior side of the existing glazing units, held in place by custom add-on frames.
