The awe that can arise from simple encounters with
light, colour and geometry, and how this can be a transcendent experience, is
the focus of James Murnane’s practice. Dwelling upon the shapes found in decorative
stained glass windows, and their gracious capacity to transform dark interior
spaces, James has created a painting installation that emphasises the impact of
light. Deeply impressing upon the
senses, then the mind and then the heart, A
Key aims to draw the person immersed in it from aesthetic experience to
transcendent experience.
