The Creation Rose

At Washington National Cathedral, stained-glass artist Rowan LeCompte and craftsman Dieter Goldkuhle battle doubt, deadlines, and physics to create the abstract Creation Rose—an eruption of light and color conceived and created before its stone frame existed. Interviews and archival footage reveal the risky endeavor that modernized a Gothic icon and fulfilled a teenage dream.
