York Minster

Unfolding Love exhibition

Published Monday 4th June 2007 by Alix Peacock

York Minster will today welcome Unfolding Love, a beautiful piece of sculpture by Janis Ridley.  This exhibition at the Minster forms part of a tour around cathedrals throughout 2007.  The bronze cast sculpture Unfolding Love will be displayed in the Eastern Crypt of York Minster between Monday 4th June and Friday 6th July. 

 

Artist, Janis Ridley said “The mother and child embody an eternal, unconditional and universal love which is central to our lives and faith.  This spiritual sculpture tells us a story of life which is universal and accessible.”

 

York Minster is the second cathedral to host Janis Ridley’s Unfolding Love. The sculpture has been displayed at Exeter Cathedral and after the Minster it will move on to be displayed at Winchester Cathedral.
