(Denny’s work) “is lovingly done, at once entirely contemporary yet in full conformity with the traditional, determining disciplines of the craft” William Packer
About the book:
Thomas Denny has been commissioned to make stained glass for some forty five cathedrals and churches. This book replicates the 2020 version but with descriptions of four additional projects. Some of the writers are artists, but we hear the voices of musicians, historians and a former Archbishop of Canterbury. Patrick Reyntiens has written the introduction. The photographs were all specially taken for the book by James O. Davies & Rebecca Lane, Alex Wright, Colin Winterbottom & Finola Finlay.
“The truth is, God comes to us in glimpses, in small snatches of light and understanding - only occasionally are we granted a ‘blinding flash’. In his stained glass Thomas Denny gives us both these approaches.” The Very Reverend Michael Tavinor
“It is as if you are being offered a choice between two temporal realities, the deep journey or present pleasures. Thomas Denny’s work provides both, a rare and visceral encounter with the numinous here and now.” Mark Cazalet
