Abstract

This essay explores the iconography and narratives in 'Under an Equal Sky', an installation in Canterbury Cathedral by glass artists Philip Baldwin and Monica Guggisberg. Their career-long devotion to craft and process gives the works their formal and thematic anchors, conceptual underpinnings and potential for mutliple interpretation. The metaphor of the container and the craft of glassmaking is used as a lens to expose the content of the exhibition's ambitious installations and sculptural objects.
