Lux et Lapis. Light and Stone.  I love taking long walks when I’m working on a piece and usually these walks are out in the woods.  For this piece, however, I took every chance I could get to wander around two of the most magnificent cathedrals in the DC area: the National Cathedral and the Shrine of the Immaculate Conception.  I love the rush of feeling so tiny when entering these massive sanctuaries.  With this work I have attempted to capture some of that awe-inspiring immensity. 

 

Lux et Lapis was commissioned by Georgia trumpeters Dr. Adam Hayes and Dr. Joel Treybig.
