About the Item

Sculptural Stained Glass Tri-Partite Screen, Room Divider, Blue, Joseph Ferguson USA There is no surface for stained glass color to flow onto. Like a picture puzzle, it must be constructed, each piece of colored glass cut to shape and fixed into a supporting matrix or armature. A wooden frame, round or square, is required to enclose the composition and to give depth and support. Brass rod inserted in the frame at various levels takes the place of the armature in medieval stained glass windows. The support and linear expression of the design begins with bending the brass rod. Connecting various levels adds strength. Once the design becomes self-supporting, glass pieces can be cut and bound with foil to be soldered into the armature. Natural light floods the interior to enhance the contrast between the intensity of clear and colored light. About Joe Ferguson Joseph Ferguson, born in 1930, grew up on a dairy farm in Unadilla, NY. He worked as a junior draftsman for the New York Central Railroad in New York City and attended Cooper Union night school, though that was interrupted by the Korean War. After the war, he attended Edinburgh College of Art in Scotland and received an Andrew Carnegie Scholarship to study at the art centers of Europe. He settled in Boston in 1952 and worked at J.G.H. Reynolds Stained Glass before founding Ferguson Stained Glass in Weston, MA in 1970 where he still creates works of art. “I was schooled in the traditions of Modernism, influenced by British and American sculptors of the late ’50s, and chose stained glass as my medium. I like the intensity of its changing color with interaction of light. Its challenge was to make it sculptural, free it from its architectural, cathedral settings. I wanted to realize landscape sculpture, like those of Henry Moore and Alexander Calder.”
