Projects >> MASS

MASS, which began while we were living in Krakow during the autumn and winter of 2010-11, investigates the dominance and influence of the Catholic church in Poland. A lapsed Catholic myself, the irritation I felt about that period of my life was soon challenged by a fascination (and envy) of a faith that appeared to cut across class and (to a lesser extent) age barriers.

As a 'work-in-progress' I'm still wrestling with how to use the various themes I'm investigating. Included in this very experimental slideshow are several epic views from the 'organista' (which is where the work began) along with some extreme blow-ups of tiny details found within these large format images. Newer pictures, of rosary beads and offering slots, complete the series..... although it remains in flux.
