INTRODUCTION
The subject of Figures From The Cathedral is the human figure in church architecture. The materials used throughout are wire and galvanized expanded steel (known as “lath” in the building industry). The images are grouped as: Friezes and Large Reliefs; Frescos and Holy Cards; Mosaics and Jamb Figures (the external statues flanking the cathedral’s portal).
These sculptures are theological in content, but no attempt is made to celebrate a specific faith; rather, I celebrate the notion exemplified by the Italian Renaissance that the human form in art and religion intimate the same reality.
