(American, born 1950)
Location: Leota Junior High School, Woodinville
ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Artist Jack Archibald created the stained-glass window ‘Slings and Arrows' as part of a body of work that explores stylized and animated symbols. This piece was created through a process of arranging unique glass shards into abstract compositions. Archibald notes, "just as light metamorphoses through the day, the windows too have a kinetic energy"
This artwork was acquired for the State Art Collection in partnership with Northshore School District.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Glass artist Jack Archibald uses light to animate the colors and abstract shapes in his stained glass artworks. In his own words, "As a stained glass artist, I work with light. Glass is uniquely interactive with light, its transitions, its intensities, its colors. Throughout the day, a window constantly undergoes transformation. The changing light animates the glass."
Archibald earned a Bachelor of Arts degree (1972) from the University of Wisconsin. In 1981, he established the private studio called "Revisionary Glassworks" on Camano Island, on North Puget Sound, Western Washington.
