I’ve been looking at a few works that explore the shape of a cross to investigate the language that my sculpture will be entering.

This installation of Andrew Greave’s has opened up a new avenue of research for me. The reflective, meditative nature of religion and the nature of corporate and individual relation to religion, it’s icons and it’s spaces is something I haven’t considered yet.

I have been thinking about the way in which religion mediates between a physical and a spiritual reality and have been contrasting that with the mediation between a physical and digital reality that’s allowed through technology. So in that way I have been trying to figure out the way viewers might interact with the sculpture, but the Greaves work has made me think of it in a context, in a physical space.

I suppose that it should be easily accessible physically. Physical access (as well as spiritual) is one of the things that religion offers - the possibility of seeing the mechanisms. My thinking to date had been focused primarily on it’s web presence, not on it’s role as a sculptural piece.
