University Memorial Chapel

Project Overview

Commemorative windows honoring the university's founding faculty.

A deeply considered commission, these five memorial windows honor the founding faculty of a historic university through allegorical compositions that avoid literal portraiture in favor of symbolic imagery drawn from each discipline. Philosophy is rendered in cool silver and violet; medicine in deep crimson and gold; law in deep blue and ivory. Each figure is integrated into an abstract architectural setting that references the university's Gothic campus buildings.
