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. Bede kneels in prayer at the shore of the sea. Bede describes, in his writings, Cuthbert standing all night in prayer as the sea rises and ebbs about him and Bede is depicted here drawing inspiration from Cuthbert.
The character of this shore is that of Roker and Seaburn, with its mysterious and beautiful honeycombed rocks. Above Bede, an owl moves up towards the moon, conveying a sense of night and its quietude. Bede's landscape, bounded by the rivers of the Wear and Tyne is suggested, map like behind him. The right hand light contains memories, events, activities of his life - teaching, welcoming, writing, comforting, conversing on a cliff walk
