Between Heaven & Earth

Between Heaven & Earth was an exhibition of my ongoing work 'The Eisegete's Cell' in my local parish church, St. Andrew's, Bolam. The purpose of the work was to stimulate thought and discussion during Lent about some of the difficult issues surrounding Bible translation and exegesis.

The works comprised three linked groups; a set of four 90x90cm paintings, small sculptures grouped around the Mediæval font, and an installation of books, prints, pins and thread on a table.

The paintings were on three Bible passages; the temptations of Jesus during his 40 days in the wilderness, Moses'40 days on Mt. Sinai and Israel's 40 years wandering, and Genesis XI:1-9, the story of Babel.
