Contemporary Stained Glass Crewneck Sweatshirts

Australian viewers will recognise the typical layout of an old Federation entryway: a large square with two smaller squares in the actual door and a fanlight above. My elderly client is an adventurous woman determined to enjoy the remaining period of her life with exuberance and she wanted this reflected in the design for the new entryway to her home in Glebe, Sydney.

Just installed this fanlight in a friend's kitchen today (11.08.12). The black and white chequerboard reflects the floor tiling while the design generally speaks to the traditional leadlight in the adjacent bathroom and other elements in the period house. But the brief called for a contemporary twist, so I skewed the grid to a 45 degree angle and built in a bevel rescued from an art deco leadlight.

This small panel was commissioned as a memorial to a pilot, and features the Dragon Rapide, a 1930's biplane built by British manufacturer de Havilland as a short-haul airliner carrying 6-8 passengers. Made of plywood, the aircraft flew many missions during WWII. The leadlight panel is now in Switzerland and forms part of the headstone memorial in a mountain cemetery.

Brightly colored memories - each a piece of the larger window to our hearts.

This is a view into the afternoon sun of my stained glass panel installed at a Bus Shelter in Blaxland Road by the City of Ryde, NSW in 2017. Anthony Ogle, in his capacity as Chief Engineer, was the commissioning agent. Anthony was responsible for the artwork printed onto the rear screen of the Shelter

This work was made in response to a very specific brief from a client who is a designer herself, building a beautiful new home in Sutton, NSW. Having researched the project, she was torn between two opposing design approaches: one completely organic, made up entirely of agate slices, and a totally geometric, multi-hued grid. My solution was to combine the two, allowing the grid to support the stones. Technically it was quite a challenge in construction but we are all very happy with the result.

Another Detail from a set of stained glass sidelights featuring peonies created last year for Chinese clients building a new house in Seaforth, on Sydney's North Shore. I've been sparing with the glass painting in this set of windows, mainly enhancing the features and adding some nuance to the textured glasses in the background. I also painted in a couple of bees in this panel :-)

A new residential commission installed in February 2015 for a townhouse in Ryde. The window faces west and is the prime source of light to the apartment, throwing colour across the floor and up the walls as the sun moves. The client had a significant input into the colour scheme so it was an interesting commission in that regard, working within a restricted palette. Of course what it meant was, she got all her favourite colours, so she's very happy with the result.

Here I've used gold-pink enamels, along with Reusche tracing black, fired onto the glass to enhance the natural variations of the art glass used in making the flower

Painting by Kari Gregorich

A piece inspired by stained glass windows and made using watercolour to give the translucency and colour variation that would be seen in glass. This is a bold and colourful modern painting that would brighten up any room.

This window is one of a pair of windows which were commissioned for the Chapel at TAS , (The Armidale School) in Armidale, northern New South Wales. Both the client and the Chaplain requested windows which would speak to the community of boys in a contemporary manner. However my first designs were roundly rejected by the School committee as being too modern, so after much discussion about subject matter I created two windows which would illustrate in text the Fruit of the Spirit.

Oct 2010: With William Walton's Lark Ascending in my mind while designing this work, I attempted to create something visually exciting without being 'noisy'; uplifting and at the same time peaceful. While the client's were excited by my work when they saw me at the Craft Expo at Old Parlliament House, Canberra this year, the brief was quite difficult to interpret; they rejected my first two drawings and pushed me on to create something quite out-of-the-box. It is a fixed window to sitting room, 147cm x 54cm in a very nice house in Nichols, ACT.

This work was installed in a private residence at Beecroft as a feature window to the loungeroom. It measures 80cm in diameter and was made in 2002. It conveys a sense of flying over, or into, a landscape... in one's mind. Using all my precious scraps of beautiful glass, I do feel this is one of my best works.

Made in 2004 this is another work I plan on featuring in my new calendar. The centre panel is part of my calligraphic series of experimental gestural work with glass paint. The grey borders are Spectrum reamy painted and then rubbed back to reveal the texture of the glass. And I just love the depth of colour and layers of detail that some of the Uroboros mottled glass achieves.

This design features layers of geometric shapes in dusty blue, purple, magenta, orange, and green. Similar to a winter sweater pattern, the shapes intermix from one row to another and form smaller shapes that contribute to the overall pattern. The pattern is a bit whimsical while also being stylish and colorful. Similar to a kaleidoscope shape, this design is derived from colors in another picture and filtered to have a stylized jacquard-like pattern.

A 2014 installation, this is a panel in the front door of an extension to a private residence in Weston Creek, ACT. The work is more lyrical insofar as it is based on the piano and string compositions of Debussy and Liszt, among others, and also Scottish Airs (a particular request of the client); I had to buy some new CDs especially, as I was not particularly familiar with that genre. There is a huge mix of glass in this piece: pressed flannel flower glass, dichroics, mouth-blown 'antiques' from Germany, Bullseye, some really old streaky granites and a few mechanical textures. I've also included, in a collage or found-object manner, some precious keepsakes of the client from their world travels along with some painted glass from my coll...
