With the Hønefoss kirke (Norway) commission, I found that I composed my colour palette entirely (and spontaneously) when choosing Lamberts glass. I had no need to emulate my designs or sketches, as I could not have imagined the real nuances in the glass. Apart from cutting it, there was no need to do anything to it. The colour, texture and movement in the glass is enough in itself.
