The theme is taken from Ezekiel 47:1-12, a vision of a transformed desert landscape. 18 artists from the congregation are showing work, some of which was created in the Drawing Club and art workshops organised by the group.
Ezekiel 47:1-12 is a marvellously evocative passage using much natural imagery – water, rivers, sea, swamps, marshes, fish, trees, fruit, leaves etc. The temple, as the place where God’s presence was very real, is seen as the source of new life, water flowing out and into the landscape, transforming the barren, empty desert into incredibly fertile land. In a barren landscape the passage finishes with a wonderful vision of the fruit from the trees that grow being food and the leaves used for healing. We have here a vision of life being released into the dry desert of Ezekiel’s time and encouragement for us to imagine this life flowing into our 21st century context.

The exhibition utilises this imagery to explore themes of flourishing, growth, healing and worship. The two halves of the exhibition reflect the transition from wilderness to fertile land.

Solace at St Peter's - Lent Creative Workshops on Wednesdays: March 13th, March 27th, April 3rd. 12noon – 3pm & Saturdays: March 16th & April 6th. 12noon-3pm. St Peter De Beauvoir Town, Northchurch Terrace, London N1 4DA.
This Lent, artists Sophie Alston and Ingrid Pumayalla (working from Peru), with students under the auspices of Arts Chaplaincy Projects (University of the Arts, London) will create: SOLACE AT ST PETER’S.
Using natural materials from around the neighbourhood and textile crafts, everyone is invited to St Peter de Beauvoir, to create a series of sculptures around the building, exploring the themes of spring and new life, and nurturing connections between congregation and community.
Sophie Alston & Ingrid Pumayalla are MA Fine Art graduates from Central Saint Martins with experience of participatory, craft-based residencies – most recently collaborating in an arts project at Princess Alice Hospice in Surrey, as recently exhibited in the Window Galleries at CSM.
They have a shared interest in the spiritual potential of art for healing and will be working with the community in and around St Peter de Beauvoir Town during Lent to create a series of sculptural installations exploring themes of spring and new life.
