Description:
|
Interior view: 2nd floor window.
Location: Above Stage Door, Lyceum Theatre, facing Arundel Gate. Description: The panels compose an image that extends the four storeys of a stairwell. It is meant to be read as a theatre fly-tower with several sets in readiness. However, on each landing the glass can be appreciated as a discrete design. Throughout the panels a musical score can be seen running vertically down the building. This is taken from a handwritten Beethoven violin concerto. There is a wonderful focus on colour and details throughout, the details possibly meant to be the textures and patterns of the sets themselves, and they seem to form an important abstract theme. Commission: Sheffield Theatres. Comment: The panels lit at night create a powerful image for the Theatre, and can be seen from Park Hill across the valley and from Pond Street. Since most theatre life takes place at night it is appropriate that the theatre should physically come to light at this time. Artist's statement: "Intention: My aim when designing the windows was to attempt to convey the potential magic and excitement of the theatrical experience. Each window is designed to be a separate entity when viewed from the inside, yet will form a coherent whole when viewed externally. The designs are contemporary and accord with the architectural modernity of the new back-stage facilities. I hope that the glass, particularly when illuminated at night, will act as a beacon to identify the building from a distance, and form an intriguing and welcoming symbol of the theatre's power to entrance and delight. Updates: (1997): Some internal damage has been sustained by the windows and the artist has been contacted with a view to replacing the damaged portions. |
