This work centres on a pillar or tower, surrounded by a wide helical movement of lighter, dynamic shapes that, though quite abstract, evoke the flight of birds, alluding to a sense of liberation or new beginning. As columns play a central physical and aesthetic role in the cathedral so this central structure is our touchstone, a metaphor for support and certainty in many forms.
