This is the first in my "Fragments" series. I was inspired by a t-shirt design I found in a thrift shop. I hope you enjoy its abstract and out-of-the-box nature as much as I do.
I named it "Fragments" for very obvious reasons - the painting has fragments of all kinds of shapes and patterns: stripes, triangles, zebra print, and leopard print. And, has a vibrant and daring color palette!
This painting can also be custom-made to your own color choices (just shoot me an Etsy Convo!).
Great for hanging anywhere around your home... or it can simply sit on your desk or working space to not only give a splash of color to the room, but to hopefully inspire you to be vibrant, daring, and out-of-the-box, as well! :)

Today’s Daily Shoot assignment is:
Focus on a fragment of an object today. Make a photograph that only shows part of an object, not the whole thing.
These two fragments of glass are leftover from a stained glass project and might someday be recycled into another project. Though the green shard looks especially menacing, a steady hand with a glass cutter will make it quite usable. Naples, FL
Birmingham was horribly bombed during the second world war. St Martin's church remained standing in the middle of devastation, all its windows blown out. These windows have been reconstructed from fragments of the glass.
I am not sure that this is wholly successful.
Fragment of 15th century glass at St Margaret's church, Alstone, Gloucestershire (during conservation at Norgrove Studios).
The glass does not seem to be original to the church and is considered to have come from nearby Hailes Abbey
The fact that the entire figures and their surrounding architectural contexts are painted and stained on the same piece of glass perhaps indicates that these were probably parts of tracery lights, which would exclude Alstone as the provenance of this glass.

A collection of fragments of medieval English and continental glass reset in a modern roundel after being blown out by a bomb in WWII. Best viewed large - spot an Adoration of the Magi, the head of the Blessed Virgin and the inscription from an Annunciation.
Fragment of 15th century glass reset in a window in the cloisters.
Originally founded as an Augustinian abbey in 1140, Bristol Cathedral has had a more chequered history than most, having only been elevated to a diocesan church in 1542 following the dissolution of the monastery. At the time it was granted cathedral status the church was also incomplete, a major rebuilding of the nave was underway but the Dissolution brought work to a halt and the unfinished parts were demolished. The new cathedral was a truncated church consisting of choir, transepts and central tower, (already on a smaller scale than many) and so it remained until the Victorian period when renewed interest in the Middle Ages reignited the desire to rebuild the nave. The work was done between 1868-77 to the designs of architect George Edmund Street (largely imitating the genuine medieval architecture of the choir) whilst the west front with its twin towers wasn't finished until 1888 (to the design of J.L.Pearson). Only then was Bristol cathedral a complete church again, after a gap of more than three centuries.
Architecturally this is also a rather unique building in England, since it follows the German pattern of a 'hall-church' where the main vessel (nave & choir) and the side aisles are all of the same height, thus there is no clerestorey and the aisle windows rise to the full height of the building. Externally this gives the building a rather more solid, muscular look, whilst within there is a greater sense of enclosed space, with the columns merging into the vaulted ceilings like trees sprouting branches. There are many striking architectural innovations here that don't seem to have been repeated elsewhere in 14th/15th century England, such as the distinctive designs of the choir aisle vaults which appear to rest on pierced bracings and the 'stellate' tomb-recesses punctuating the walls below. Further eccentric touches can be found in some of the side chapels of the eastern arm. Another unique feature is the fact the cathedral has two Lady Chapels, the major one being below the east window behind the high altar, whilst a further chapel (one of the earliest parts of the church) is attached to the north transept.
Beyond its impressive architectural features the cathedral contains much of interest, with its late medieval choir stalls surviving along with a few much restored elements of its 14th century glass (along with an interesting mixture of windows from later centuries) and several monumental tombs of note. Parts of the monastic complex remain too, with two sides of the cloister remaining and the superb Norman chapter house (one of the finest examples of Romanesque architecture and carving in the country with some wonderfully rich-non-figurative decoration).
