Suspended Altar Cross
The Pastor of the congregation, being of Irish descent, requested a Celtic design motíf for the suspended altar cross. As we know, these motífs tend to be intricate, beautiful,… and slavishly obedient to the borders within which they circulate, fastidiously banishing all empty space. It is this last set of qualities which fails to, as we say, speak to my condition. And so I selected a small section of a much larger pattern of a traditional Celtic cross, and showed this as "revealed" in the cleft of this cross, much larger than the original.
