New Mosaic
As part of a refurbishment project at St
Martin’s in Roath Aidan has just finished installing this large mosaic
of Christ Pantocrator. The design draws on Western and Eastern
influences, especially the Deësis mosaic in Hagia Sophia and an image of
Christ from the vault of Sancta Sanctorum chapel in Rome.
It is has now been set into the church’s exterior north wall, about 30 feet above a bustling high street in central Cardiff.
He worked alongside stonemason Paul
Mitchell who carved a frame for the mosaic in Bath stone and Martin
Earle and Ulia Clow who helped lay some of the many thousands of
coloured glass ‘tesserae’ which make up the icon.
Fascinating.... simply fascinating...
Look at all the pictures. . .
WOW.
