Shaping The time had come for me to enter into
the Glass dialogue with the different metal colour
lights. I chose a coloured glass to converse
with and devoted my entire attention
to it. I enquired after its qualities - Who
are you? Are you still or lively, warm or
cold, light or heavy, do you approach
or retreat? What is it like in your world
- light or dark, expansive or narrow,
mysterious or apparent? How do you wish
to express yourself - in rays, spirals, scales,
dynamically, with curves, edges, overlap?
What kind of motivation do you express?
All the experiences that I received through
this intimate dialogue were fashioned into
a sketch - the process of etching began:
spraying the glass panels with water to
Marianne Altmaier at sketching a motif
In dialogue with a coloured glass
