- David Wilson's glass windows, each measuring 35 feet high, recall monumental columns. The artwork make use of recurring geometric motifs composed of transparent, translucent, and opaque leaded glass. To create tactile and dynamic surfaces, Wilson employed a variety of textures, including stippled, mirrored, and blue dichroic glass. As sunlight passes through the dichroic glass, the colors change, which introduces a range of additional hues and produces variegated reflections on the terrazzo floor.
