Kasey-Rae Passfield is currently studying photography at Norwich University College of the Arts. For her current project she has been looking at contemporary stained glass windows in order to create stained glass windows using flowers and repetition.
In her final image pressed flowers are collaged on paper to create the impression of stained glass windows. She has created a design with five lights using her black backing paper to give a sense of lead lines. The lights on both the left and right of her design balance each other by means of repeating images while the central light contains its own balanced design.
Passfield's windows depict a garden with dense foliage and the impression in the central light of sky and sun. This image works firstly as a decorative evocation of a well planted garden in full bloom but also, given the prominent use of stained glass within an ecclesiastical setting can also prompt thoughts of that most famous of gardens, the garden of Eden as mentioned in the book of Genesis. The role of human beings in Eden was to tend and care for this garden within which God himself walked. Here Passfield creates a well tended garden through which, as with stained glass itself, the light of the divine can be seen to shine.
