Exhibition pieces


I have two pieces in the latest commission4mission exhibition which opens at the Tokarska Gallery tomorrow.

Broken journey, fragmented story is an installation made from noticeboards containing images and meditations from a sequence of Stations of the Cross and Resurrection which have been displayed, with omissions, in a random pattern which disrupts the agreed linear sequence of the Passion journey and narrative. The Gospel story is rarely able to be told fully and in the way in which we might ideally wish to do so. The installation raises questions about the effect that this fragmentation of the story has on us, on those who hear the story told, and on the story itself. Is a story told in fragments disconnected and incoherent or do the fragments and omissions enable new insights and connections to be made?

In Your face is a map of the world Christ takes the sin of the world onto himself in and through his crucifixion. The title is lifted from a song by 30 Seconds to Mars and the scrawled words come from my poem, Dancing the black night blue.
