POWER OF TWO
St Mark's Church, Leeds
Temporary installation in marble dust
Commissioned for Situation Leeds Festival of Contemporary Art
Islamic geometric patterns marked out in marble dust along the aisle of a deconsecrated church are slowly smudged and dislodged into chaos by visitors’ footsteps. Lit by figurative biblical scenes in the crumbling stained glass windows around the church, viewers are invited to explore the complex attitude to spiritual representation that governs the two sets of iconography.
