Church Times - Art review: The Small House by Richard Woods, Southwark Cathedral

My latest review for Church Times is of The Small House by Richard Woods at Southwark Cathedral:

'The playful temporary disruption that this installation causes in the space enables rich biblical reflection on the house of God: as memorial stone at Bethel, as a tabernacle in the wilderness, and as the Temple in Jerusalem. Psalm 23 promises that we shall dwell in the house of the Lord and sit at table there; and Jesus pictures heaven as a house with many rooms, one for each of his followers.

This small house is, therefore, a temporary sign of what is to come.'
