Cathedral Sculpture and an empty factory

I took this photograph some ten years ago at the Cathedral in Gloucester when they were starting to assemble a sculpture Exhibition which was to feature many stunning sculptures throughout the Cathedral grounds and the building itself.

This is two pieces, a sculpture and a painting behind. Someone being clever here with the curating. Clever curator! And then last of the series I took is this one, it must have been done pre Brexit and … Continue reading Summer exhibition…that was fun.
