Parr Diamonds

Parr Diamonds is inspired by a marble façade seen in St Mary's Chapel, Sudeley, the final resting place of Catherine Parr, the 6th wife of King Henry VIII. The design is broken into individual units that look to dilute and fragment as they expand outwards. Faceted and curved glass forms act as lenses to the silhouettes of foliage clusters, rosettes and strands of pearls. Reverse painted to allude to the original carved marble façade, these internal surfaces echo the decay and deterioration that the chapel's tomb conceals.
