St Martin-in-the-Fields: Community Art Project

 


At the Parish Day for St Martin-in-the-Fields in 2020 we began a Community Art Project involving construction of geometric stars. All the stars were to form part of a large wall hanging based on Giotto’s fresco of stars on the ceiling of the Scrovegni Chapel in Padua. All of the stars varied in size and complexity adding to the overall mesmeric and spatial pattern.

Stars are a symbol of truth, spirit and hope and are seen as something beautiful, good and positive. Stars can also be a symbol that embodies the notion of spiritual revelation in each of us.

The hanging is now complete thanks to Andrew Carter and was displayed in church on Easter Day. We hope that the finished piece looks beautiful and positive and a sign of hope for us all. Much thanks to everyone who took part and especially to Andrew Carter.
