The artwork that Tracey showed to the community is now up in the Cathedral. I'm sure everyone who saw Tracey's presentation will agree that it is well worth going to see.
Here's the blurb:
An installation in the Cathedral by Tamworth artist Tracey Flynn invites you on a “Lenten Journey”. Take a moment to reflect on the questions that are hidden in the collage and leave your footprints on a carpet of sand as a record of your own journey.
As an artist, Tracey describes her work as being “a permanent record of a conversation with God”. She uses materials, colours and textures that best express her heart in a non-verbal approach to worship and prayer, where the emphasis is placed on the process rather than on the final image.
“A Lenten Journey” is the first in a series of six installations that will be in the Cathedral during the coming year as part of the Blessings project.
