"Crucifixion:
Death of Christ" departs from the elements of
traditional stained glass. It is made almost entirely out
of clear glass, yet gradations in the texture of the
glass distinguish the design from its background. Three
tiny pieces of red glass were inserted at the hands and
feet to signify blood. The circular frame that surrounds
the glass is made of sandblasted cedar and is intended to
reference the gopher wood, of which, many believe the
actual crucifix was made. In most stained glass designs,
the glazing is a technical device, holding into place the
glass that makes up the image. However, in the
"Crucifixion", the glazing is actually used as
the medium for the 'drawing' of the image
