Another project with architectural associations, but one that remains
to be realized, however, is a set of works for stained glass windows
for installation in a structure designed by Yves Bayard.
Five watercolors on view represent the artist's intentions for the
soaring windows, which would expand as they grow upward, in reverse
of the protective,
enclosing walls of the tall, conical supports. If ever realized, the
ecumenical shrine (if it may be called that) would comprise an exhilarating
space where the visitor could be at once free from outside distractions
and drawn upward in a kind of spiritual release.

In 1988, Jenkins became involved with another large-scale undertaking
when he was invited to visit China in order to create a set of silk banners
to be displayed on the Great Wall of China and silk backdrops for the
entire stage of the Great Hall of the People. ... The three watercolors
of Peking Prism, which form a kind of triptych, recall that enterprise
in the present exhibition. The upright emphasis in the aligned vertical
elements in the side panels strongly alludes to the processional function
of the Chinese banner. That motif is reiterated at the sides of the middle
panel, as the meeting of the focal elements at the very center is, so
to speak, witnessed and commemorated.
