“Slide Show” presents a series of stained-glass slides with a custom lightbox made by Mark Thompson, a visual artist working predominantly with glass since 1991. Though mainly undertaking large-scale architectural glasswork commissions, he has also generated a steady stream of studio artwork including autonomous glassworks, paintings and mixed media objects. Thompson maintains a glass/art studio-building in Sydenham, Ontario.

Mark Thompson writes: “The format of the series will be based on 16:1 scales standard slide box, containing 24 slides. The oversized 31” square slides will be made with 1” thick router-detailed, white-lacquered Baltic Birch, and stained, etched, flashed (i.e. laminated) and enameled glass panes; these materials will be beautifully analogous to the usual slide materials of white plastic dyed acetate.
