⟁ Member's Supplement: Finding St. William: My Art Commission from York Minster.

This Members’ Supplement follows the beginning of a new commission for York Minster marking the anniversary of the canonisation of St. William of York. The finished piece will take the form of a specially made accordion sketchbook bound between two orphaned medieval Bible covers - a work concerned as much with continuity, memory and survival as with the places themselves.

The commission traces surviving sites associated with St. William across York - weaving together architecture, myth, pilgrimage and lived memory. Running through the work is the extraordinary medieval St. William Window at York Minster - attributed to the master glazier John Thornton of Coventry and regarded as one of the great stained-glass narratives of medieval England.
