Liverpool Biennial - Earth and Æther
This piece of artwork – part of the Liverpool Biennial, an International Festival of Contemporary Art – was designed specifically for the Chapter House of Liverpool Cathedral. It was created by artists in residence Lin Holland and Jane Poulton.
In the middle of the tiled floor is a large piece of red sandstone (of which the cathedral is made) which has been covered in gold leaf.
Hanging above it is a mirrored house. It explores man’s attempts. through the sanctification of earthly objects, to approach a sense of the sublime.

ReplyDeleteSeem to remember today is your 'Birthday' so I am popping in to wish you a Happy Day.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday if granny is correct. What is the point of covering sandstone in gold leaf? I am sure that the money could have been better spent.
