Milo Lawrence began their art in theater, working as a scenic designer in New York for nearly a decade before exploring other mediums. They grew up in Sonoma County, CA, where they currently reside. Milo is interested in the way we experience spaces and architecture as art, and the connection between places and the meanings that can inhabit them. In stained glass, they hope to explore the long-held tradition of places of worship to make places sacred by devoting large architectural artworks to belief systems, and what it means to take the materials of those works to make small, individual pieces with the same intention as those larger architectural works.

Part of a series of stained glass 'portals', made to be backlit and hung on a wall as though they are windows. Made from Bullseye and Yoghiogheny glass.
'Night Bloom' is inspired by the illustrations of Aubrey Beardsley, especially his work on a publication of Le Morte D'Arthur, a collection of Arthurian tales by Sir Thomas Malor - taking these illustrations of tales that are another kind of morality story and preserving them in architectural stained glass, the way other belief stories are, is the purpose of this collection of stained glass pieces. 'Night Bloom' in particular is a tribute to a small piece of manuscript illumination, Beardsley's snail - the slow and small and preciously symmetrical.
