Church Times - Art review: Monadic Singularity by Anish Kapoor (Liverpool Cathedral)

My latest review for Church Times is on Monadic Singularity by Anish Kapoor at Liverpool Cathedral:

'We see from a range of perspectives to look beyond, whether into the depths or up to the heavens, and, therefore, are asked by the artist to experience what the architect asked us to experience in first visualising and then creating this building. That experience is ultimately why this exhibition is so apposite as a celebration of this cathedral’s anniversary. Scott used 20th-century materials and techniques to create pointed arches that lead our eyes heavenwards, generating awe through light, space, and height. Whether directing us to the depths or heights, Kapoor mirrors Scott’s intent in his choices of works for this sacred space.'
