The Age Of Faith
Gothic Cathedral:
An encyclopedia of Christian meaning.
Walls become multi-surfaces
of penetrable stone.

Gargoyles:
Graphic messengers in a physical
and spiritual balancing act.
Flying Buttress:
Balance through opposition.

Stained glass windows transmit
the LIGHT OF GOD into the
intangible space of the holy spirit.
