This Hallowe’en photo is a detail from one of the memorials at @stbenetscam Hallowe’en is a contraction of “All Hallow’s Eve,” or as we would say today The Eve of All Saints’ . (We know all about apostrophes in the middle of words here at Bene’t’s). Here’s the prayer for the Eve of All Saints:

Today we celebrated the Feast of the Annunciation at the medieval altar in @stbenetscam dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary’s mother.
“For nothing will be impossible with God,” Gabriel declared. What impossible good news are you praying for today?

Two powerful artworks by Pangrok Sulap are now on display in the beautiful space of St Bene't's in Cambridge:

Two large modern artworks hang in an ancient church, with arched Gothic windows behind and a font in the foreground. The artworks are black-and-white prints on canvas, both celebrating the beauty and diversity of sealife along with the manmade threats - of plastic and other pollution in the first; various forms of seabed destruction in the second. Atmospheric black and white photo, taken by the vicar after a harrowing day and a midnight hang: peace reigns.

My interests in sealife & medieval history converge with the exhibition of woodcut prints by @pangroksulap in the beautiful space of #stbenetscam, founded before the Norman conquest:

The title of this work is ‘Laut Adalah Kehidupan’: The Sea is Life.

We should treasure that life – and ours may depend on it.

Black and white woodcut print, the whole work entitled Laut Adalah Kehidupan (The Sea is Life). We look up from the seabed towards boats on the surface, through shafts of sunlight which illuminate many diverse living beings and a profusion of descending garbage. The overall work is beautiful, but the juxtaposition is pointed.

This thought-provoking art raises weighty issues, but with joy in the making, the details, & the conversations that ensue. It's disturbing, but so beautiful!

What other aspects do you see?

Black and white woodcut print, the whole work entitled Ratapan Lautan (The Lament of the Sea). Swirling waters remind many viewers of Van Gogh, and pull together all the details described in the thread above.

Rapacious extraction & heedless coastal construction leave a lone traditional fisherman casting his line in an empty sea.

Artwork by #pangroksulap from #malaysia. See it at the oldest building in #cambridge, #stbenetscam.

In this detail of the print, the fisherman in his boat is seen from below, amid swirling waters which emphasize his small size and fragility. We also see a skyscraper city, and a giant net being pulled up by a crane.
