Deep…
Evocative…
Open to spiritual interpretation…
The cathedral setting for Jane Alexander’s exhibit, Surveys – From the Cape of Good Hope, couldn’t be more perfect. What I enjoyed most about the location of her exhibit is getting to see many areas of the cathedral that are normally off limits to the public. In my opinion, The Cathedral Church of St. John the Divine’s eeriness and vastness contributes greatly to the drama and mystery of her work.
Jane Alexander, born in Johannesburg, South Africa, is widely known for her sculptures. Inspired by groups of homeless youths orphaned by violence or Aids, Ms. Alexander delivers a potent emotional impact within the individual chapels surrounding the main alter of the cathedral.
A great way to experience art and this incredible cathedral all in one visit. The exhibit runs through July 29th.
Very interesting, a mix of feelings come to my mind, its hard to describe them,,, sadness, but funny at the same time, vere rare… I like it!
DEFINETELY THE FIRST ONE….
Wow, that’s scary, and very impressive. Pictures you won’t forget …
I’m sitting here with my jaw on the floor, Robin…and tears in my eyes. I can just imagine the impact of this exhibit within the walls of that cathedral!
WOW – these sculptures evoke such thought and emotion. I think that’s my favorite part about art – is when it really makes you feel. Wonderful series of images!
Not my cup of tea…but it is deep alright..:)
XXOO MORE!

Oh my goodness. Thank you so much for sharing this. I love these sculptures. They are so full of humour, observation and comment. I love the way you see things. It’s a pleasure to witness

This is a slide show.
This exhibition must have been fabulous. I love the creativity of Jane. The church makes a wonderful background.
Wonderful post.
This is a wonderful exhibition I feel so frustrated that it is so far away, I would imagine it could be very eerie late in the day.
