I have installed my series of artists books and had a great opening night. below are some images of the work that I completed and my accompanying statement.

The church can be seen as acting in a variety of roles, and these are reflected in the pieces.  Firstly, the church is a place of worship where people can give thanks and share their joy with others.  On the converse, the church is also a place of silent prayer and contemplation, a peaceful oasis, aside from, but not isolated from the river of life where individuals can reflect and take stock.  The church is also a place of music and song – a significant proportion of classical music has been inspired by the church or written for liturgical purposes, and this is a constant thread that has been present over the centuries.  One also needs to view the church as an architectural entity in itself, and one only needs to see the sheer magnificence of the great cathedrals to realise they are worthy of appreciation for the skill of the architects and craftsmen who toiled to make them.  The physical forms of the books themselves reflect the architectural shapes and contours that form Trinity Church.  Overlying all these attributes is the role of the church as a community, a place that should sit at the heart of the community, and be a driving force for societal change on both great and lesser scales.
