Following the 'Crucifixions: Francis Bacon' exhibition at St Stephen Walbrook, Daniel Bourke has created a video based on my reflections on the art of Francis Bacon. The video is now on websites of St Stephen Walbrook and the London Internet Church.
The catalogue for 'Crucifixions: Francis Bacon', including my essay, is now available online at the website for “The Francis Bacon Collection of the drawings donated to Cristiano Lovatelli Ravarino”.

Artistic responses to St Stephen Walbrook
Within our new website for St Stephen Walbrook we are collecting a series of artistic responses to this Wren masterpiece which is complemented by the modern art of Henry Moore and Patrick Heron. These can all be found in the Gallery section of the site.
Paul Raftery and Dan Lowe's time-lapse video of St Stephen Walbrook is filmed in black and white and is a meditative piece that explores the tranquil, domed space with its sculptural altar by Henry Moore. It was shot over three days using timelapse footage captured on DSLR cameras and incorporating motion control, with a bespoke soundtrack by George McLeod. The film received its premiere at Anise Gallery in an exhibition of photography and film based on themes found in the Sacred Geometries. The film encompasses the three aspects of Sacred Geometries seamlessly - mathematics, nature and spirituality.
Daniel Bourke is undertaking a digital residency with St Stephen Walbrook re-creating the building as a virtual environment. He has made an initial video as one of his initial imaginative responses to the space. His work can be viewed at http://danielbourke.com/.
Quintetta at St Stephen Walbrook Church is a drawing made by Trevor Mill while listening to the fantastic brass quintet during a magic lunchtime at St Stephen Walbrook.
In the context of our recent Crucifixions: Francis Bacon exhibition, Rupert Loydell read poetry inspired by the work of Francis Bacon and also by the annunciation. The experience inspired him to write a prose poem 'Faint Echoes' based on that event, which also included a lecture on 'The crucifixion in modern art'.

St Stephen Walbrook: New website
St Stephen Walbrook has a tremendous new website which can be found at https://ststephenwalbrook.net/. On the site you will find details of our regular weekly services and upcoming events, live sermons as well as many articles about the rich history, heritage and features of this unique church, described by Sir John Summerson as ‘the pride of English architecture’.
The Events calendar on the site is powered by Churchapp which enables you to create a MyChurch account providing on-the-go access to our calendar and other useful information such as rotas. Churchapp also enables our online giving facility.
We have included on the homepage this prayer, written by Bishop Thomas Ken, which is at one time thought to have been inscribed on the door of St Stephen Walbrook: “O God, make the door of this house wide enough to receive all who need human love and fellowship, narrow enough to shut out all envy, pride and strife. Make its threshold smooth enough to be no stumbling-block to children, nor to straying feet, but rugged and strong enough to turn back the tempter’s power. God make the door of this house the gateway to Thine eternal kingdom.”
As part of our commitment to cultural programming, the site also includes two artist's perspectives on the interior of St Stephen Walbrook. Paul Raftery and Dan Lowe's time-lapse video of the church was recently premiered in the Sacred Geometries exhibition at the Anise Gallery. Daniel Bourke is undertaking a digital residency with St Stephen Walbrook re-creating the building as a virtual environment.

Real world environments overlaid with digital information
At St Stephen Walbrook we are working with Daniel Bourke, an artist who creates photo-realistic virtual tours of buildings. Daniel is creating a digital model of the church using a game engine to build and recreate the environment of the church in a photo realistic fashion. His virtual model of the church will enable us to show art online in the context of the church.
Daniel describes his work as follows:
"My work is about the fluid boundary between the digital and real. Where real world environments can be overlaid with digital information and manipulation and change the relationship which we have with the real. It is my intention to explore this relationship through paint and to resolve these issues in the realm of fine art. I begin most of my work in photoshop where I stitch together digital images, QR code, blocks of colour as well as photographs that I have taken. This process allows me to have much more control of my compositions and allows me to move elements of the painting around on a fluid and instinctive level. Once I am happy with my composition I take my work into painting. Oil paint gives me the opportunity to have a much more personal relationship to my paintings I really believe in the poetry of the marks that can be made on the canvas with oil paint. Despite my work being about the contemporary experience of technology I am inspired by a range of different artists from a range of different eras. For instance the way I build up the layers in my work is heavily influence by my study of the Flemish old masters at the same time I am influenced by the way contemporary artists such as Benjamin Edwards utilize code and technological symbols in their work."
