ALEXANDER TYLEVICH - LITURGICAL |
St. Thomas Aquinas Chapel Renovation |
Fr. James Notebaart, Liturgical Consultan with Tylevich.
Tylevich has created a new crucifix in bronze and dichroic glass, suspended from the ceiling over the altar. Corpus in bronze, seven feet-four in height. Wreath encircling above is made from bronze, steel and dichroic glass. Developed by NASA dichroic glass has the property of changing color when viewed from various angles. A sculpted bronze altar with a Tree of Life base and wood surface with interlocking rings, set on a marble platform with St. Thomas’ writings inlaid in the floor. A large panel referred to as Symbolic Gates with bronze bas-reliefs of the four Evangelists and their associated animals, the four depicted writing their gospels. On the back of the panel a hymn on the mystery of Christ. The lack of a terminus at the back suggested grill work to divide the space. Tylevich has created a boundary made from wood, bronze and steel. Click on the thumbnail images below to view more detail. All photos by Elias Adams. |
