Inspired by Rice Chapel

While in Houston I had the opportunity to visit the Rice University Chapel. It was quite beautiful.  The back wall and columns are covered in small gold mosaic.  There isn't any recognizable iconography which I quite liked.

It was night when I visited and not all the lights were on in the chapel but I could still get an impression of the walls humble beauty.

Now back in my studio in Durham I have been processing my Rice Chapel impressions.
