I like the biblical imagery that Dutch artist Kees de Kort captures and have added him to my art that speaks label. More here .

I first came across this sculpture of Jesus on the Cross in the Faces of Jesus series. Hideous, ugly but compelling. It is by Peruvian artist and sculptor Edilberto Merida.

Recently I have run into some artists whose work I have enjoyed. Particularly the art and sculptures of Nicholas Mynheer . Allegories of Heaven by Dinah Roe Kendall is worth a look as is some of the work of Paul Hobbs . Between the Image & the Flame is pictured and is my favourite for its challenge Biblical Art is a useful site.

I popped into Southwark Cathedral today; I was passing on my way to Borough Market when heard the bells, looked at my watch and realised I was in time for Morning Prayer. Four of us were there for the simple liturgy, I like the rhythm that such prayer brings to the day so it was a good start to the day. I was the only one there to be able to appreciate the ' in other people's skins ' art installation in the cathedral.

His picture of Isaac Newton and the associated inscription however caused me an element of concern - apart from the fact that I hope that rock was warmed up before he sat down; he might've been a clever bloke but he really should have listened to what his mum had to say about piles!! While clever William Blake has Newton missing out on the infinity of the endless circle. His inscription reads: "He who sees the infinite in all things sees God. He who sees the ratio only sees himself only..." Definitely something to be careful off - just to underline this for me, a daily meditation was waiting in my inbox from henrinouwen .org "As we look at the stars and let our minds wander into the many galaxies, we come to feel so small and insignificant that anything we do, say, or think seems completely useless.
