Patterns Through Time explores the architectural design details found in the windows of buildings in the New Briggate area, resulting in a contemporary take on stained glass windows. The series of digitally printed aluminium panels presents vibrant, colourful shapes that reference the stained glass windows of St John's Church, its carved stone sundial, and other key sites in New Briggate including the Grand Theatre and Grand Arcade. The colourful geometric motifs are open to interpretation; allowing the viewers to find their own associations within the patterns.
The project is supported by Leeds City Council in partnership with Historic England and the Diocese of Leeds. The commission celebrates the New Briggate High Street Heritage Action Zone (HAZ) regeneration project, a partnership between the Council and Historic England. This has delivered improvements to the public realm and historic properties in New Briggate and a series of activities and events in St John's churchyard during the past three years.
