A Little Book of Stained Glass Windows invites the viewer to take an active role in assigning narrative or meaning to the book as they interact with it. Each page features a symbol in colored photo gels and the book is binded in a “Z” style, allowing for the manipulation of images to produce new colors and forms with a wide variety of combinations. The poem excerpt on the last page reads ”Put me in a high place with arched ceilings/ So that I may be admired/ And remembered/ Finally something holy/ And when I fall from that high place/ When I shatter beyond repair, ground down to microscopic shards of myself/ Throw me into the ocean/ So that I may become sea glass/ In the hopes that somebody may find me on a cold strange shore one day/ And they may feel whole again.”
