Christ & Dove, English Martyrs, Hillmorton
Installation of my latest project, a sequence of painted panels to adorn the Altar wall at English Martyrs Catholic church in Hillmorton, Rugby.
The subject is the English Martyrs, since previously there had been no depiction of them in the church. Given the large number of Catholic martyrs during and after the Reformation I chose to portray them in procession descending towards the altar around the already existing Resurrected Christ (which we moved higher up the wall). The two central groups of figures are more recognisable/better known martyrs led by St Thomas More and St John Fisher.
