Glory Composed from the painting : Glory Glory is the moment something you reached for finally stands on its own. The painting turning across these six faces was the first I ever made in a new way of working, and when it was done, I knew it had come good. Glory is that exact moment: when the world answers before you have even asked. It is the splendour of the summit and the quiet, upright pride of the one who climbed it: the shine that falls on the glaze of a work finally finished, on a long road walked to its end. It is the earned radiance of a thing that has become fully what it set out to be. It is the crown and the bowed head beneath it; magnificence that remembers what it cost. Six faces lifted to the same high light. Set the cube going and that height is reached in a shape it has never taken, then surpassed by the next. Every ascent stands on its own, every summit earned only in this moment. This is the peak beneath you now. This is what glory looks like: risen, hard won, wearing a light that belongs only to this ascent.
