Overview
This commission is set into a southern facing window of a home on Central Park West in Manhattan, just two blocks south of the Dakota. The client suggested the theme of the four seasons.
The work is illuminated by natural light during the day, and LED at night.

Goals
The top panel shows 'winter', with a barren tree with hanging snowflakes, followed by a yellow panel representing 'spring', with a blossoming tree. Next is 'summer', with hanging sunglasses, and 'fall' with apples.
It is made using hand painted and silk-screened imagery that is kiln fired onto the surface of stained glass. The glass pieces are soldered together, and set into a stainless steel frame.
Process
The collaboration was between the client, artist, metal frame company and LED lighting company.
