On-going design process:<\/p>\n

I am in mid of making glass mapping installation. There are totally 13 window panels in the physical architecture covering 6th and 7th floor of Humanities Building. I made the images following a narrative style in Medieval Gothic period, which scenes were typically designed to be read from the bottom of the stain glass window. In my research, I discovered there are not a standard code on which route the scenes flow from the bottom. Indeed, the flow of narrative varies. It can be a zigzag, from left to right proceeds upwards (or visa verses), or flow like a water fountain, or a combination of the above. The artisans had designed the narrative flow mainly in terms of the nature content and complexity of story and sub-story.<\/p>\n

I took on this findings to start my narrative design at the bottom part. The bottom level is an genealogy of my\u00a0in a perspective of family medical history. Biological\u00a0and medical chemistry elements were sub-texts, serve as symbolism of my own medical body.<\/p>\n

Panel 1 – red blood cells thrust across the space<\/p>\n

\"Panel1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Panel 2 – Bottom part indicates my Mother’s medical condition: Red cancer cells form diagonal frames, Breast cancer MRI, chemical modules of chemotherapy. In upper part, there is a main character figure indicating he is a doctor or medical professional.<\/p>\n

\"Panel_03\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The image of this figure appears fit into a classic “medical authority” –\u00a0western male in doctors gown with shirt and tie underneath. He has a stethoscope across\u00a0his shoulders, while he points his right finger upwards. This is a gesture of saying something, or telling something. In fact, this image is an appropriation of the stain glass image of Archbishop Tomas Becket (21 December c. 1118 \u00a0\u2013 29 December 1170) of\u00a0\u00a0Canterbury Church in London. I want to inject Becket ‘s miracle legend into a set of metaphor about healing, religious power and people beliefs in miracles.<\/p>\n
