Christ the Redeemer Catholic Church

In reference to the Modern Spanish-American architectural style of the church, the glass designs were developed with collaged ornamental patterns as backgrounds.. The forms of the subject figures were composed with a 2-dimensional representation to be consistent with the flat ornamental patterns. These figures were also composed in consideration of the common viewing distance in the those windows that are seen from a distance are larger while the windows seen closely are smaller with tighter detailing.
