Glass mosaic
Saint George
Saint George and the dragon: a rearing white horse, a red cloak, a lance.
The most recent mosaic in the catalogue (2021), and a large one at 140 × 120 cm. The rider, bare-chested, puts his whole weight on the shaft, and the white dragon writhes under the hooves. England’s patron saint has been painted on gold for a thousand years. Here the gold gives way to splinters of rose, orange and blue: the light of early morning.

About the series
A mosaic is built, not painted: the pieces of glass are cut and set one by one on a wooden panel. Light plays in the glass, shifts the colour with the hour and the angle, and turns the panel into something alive.
