Sunday 3rd June 2018 First Sunday after Trinity

You may have noticed a new art installation in the Welcome Area! It is a site specific installation as part of our annual theme of ‘Time’, funded by the Arts Council and created by Chris Jenkins who was also responsible for the Willow Dome on the Cathedral Green. The piece is formed of hundreds of smaller pieces, each of which have come from different places, where they had a different identity and purpose. The changing light from within the structure also reminds us of the passage of time through the days and seasons. It contains a digital countdown clock to remind us of the passage of time, deadlines and the pressure and focus this can provide for us. Exploring the theme, Chris has been looking at the earliest timekeeping methods as well as megalithic formations built to mark lunar and solar movements. It would be true to say that this sculpture has not been universally greeted with enthusiasm. However, for much of the past week people have been talking about it and what it represents. This has led to ongoing conversations about art and time. Art should provoke a response, both intellectually and emotionally. This installation has achieved that already. Chris will be with us for a reception sometime in the next couple of months to talk about his work and this piece in particular. If this has whet your appetite to explore faith, art, spirituality and your creative side in more depth then why not come along to this Tuesday’s Creative Spirituality evening, St. Thomas’s Chapel, 7.30pm.
