Tom Denny Window - Sunderland Minster Tyne and Wear
Designed and created by Thomas Denny. Fabricated and installed by Thomas Denny and Patrick Costeloe August 2006.The central window has areas of intense violet that seem to emanate from the outer supporting windows and a structure of nebulous columns of colour.
This window is about the city, with its layers of time, humanity, life, structures, memories, preoccupations.
In the right hand light a group of "pilgrims" stand gazing across the river. Fragments of cityscape occupy the panels of the window above them: pavements and rain framed by shards of Sunderland pottery; walking figures in front of a distant glimpse of cranes and sea; terraces climbing up and down hills; a church and skyline.
In the left hand light men work on a vast girder-like structure; Sunderland bridges can be seen in their various embodiments with figures encountering one another as they walk around.
We then see a birds' eye "map" of the city and the mouth of the Wear.
