'Reflections in Glass' ...The 'Choir Loft' Ride to Heaven
As if, assisting those of the choir to ascend into heaven, this unique 'painterly' effect is a distorted reflection created by the very old rippled glass; the type of glass manufactured & used in buildings of this period.
This manufacturing process of 'rolled glass', would inherantly cause the glass to bunch up as it crossed the rollers, resulting in the distortions seen here. The process more commonly used today (since the sixties) is float glass, which became more favorable as it produces a flatter sheet of glass with very little distortion.
