Advent

God’s Christmas Cards were produced annually between 2005 and 2014 as greetings cards. In 2015, the 10 designs were enlarged and reprinted for exhibition as part of a Wiltshire community’s reflective celebrations during Advent. They were illuminated and projected nightly, featuring in the liturgical programme of carol and communion services during December. Exhibited at St Cyriac’s Church, Lacock. Available as Christmas cards here.

Featuring:

The Annunciation, in which Fra Angelico figurines are found inside a snow-globe’s blizzard and wrapped by Rainer Maria Rilke’s words ‘Wide I spread the arc of my flight’.
The Latin texts of Luke 1:26-28 and Matthew 1:20-21 from the Duc de Berry Hours and the Lindisfarne Gospels respectively, in Mary’s Angel and Joseph’s Angel.
The Gift’s homage to the Wilton Diptych, the beautiful miniature altarpiece found in the National Gallery.
