I can't help but think his bucolic surroundings have some serious influence on his work. I love how he talks about the artform's history as "19th century bullshit" and that stained glass can be "modern". It's a place not many would take the medium and it's pretty stark, beautiful work. There's something about this work that conjures visions of the natural world in it's ebb and flow ferocity and calm, death and re birth. Pretty inspiring for such an under the radar medium.
