Reverberating Presence within a space between the real and the imagined, the active and the represented…
Like the mosaic angels high above the altar, the man in front of me raises his hands in praise.
An echo occurs: his praise echoes the angels’ praise echoes the man’s.
It is poetic. There is reverence both represented and actual.
Holy is here.
Church of the Seven Nations, Jerusalem 2009.

The intent of the Jew is felt here. Facing the wall, prayers are read from books, prayers are recited and sung in minions.
Like the photo of a loved one we keep in our hand, we are re-membered to the one we love…
It is a cross between two sounds; the Muslim adhan and Gregorian chant – I get caught up in the stream and close my eyes.
