ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Artist Jack Archibald created the stained-glass window Omega Array by arranging glass shards into an abstract composition. It is part of a body of work that combines geometric and organic shapes to explore symbols. When viewing this piece, he asks you to “think of the universe as if viewed through a microscope.”
This artwork was acquired for the State Art Collection in partnership with Riverside School District.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Glass artist Jack Archibald uses light to animate the colors and abstract shapes in his stained glass artworks. In his own words, "As a stained glass artist, I work with light. Glass is uniquely interactive with light, its transitions, its intensities, its colors. Throughout the day, a window constantly undergoes transformation. The changing light animates the glass."
Archibald earned a Bachelor of Arts degree (1972) from the University of Wisconsin. In 1981, he established the private studio called "Revisionary Glassworks" on Camano Island, on North Puget Sound, Western Washington.
