Jesus Leeds

CL subscribers are familar with the work of artist Simon Smith creator of our popular Stations of the Cross images.

Si is currently at work on a new series of images that will be launched in CL71 (February 2010), this time depicting the 19 'Stations of the Resurrection'.

In common with many other artists of religious themes, Si has chosen to depict the New Testament events as if they are happening here and now.

And in Simon's case, 'here' equals Leeds. So above we can see his depiction of John 21:9-13 with the Sea of Galilee appearing in the guise of Roundhay Park's boating lake.

The images will be accompanied by a series of texts for meditations, created by the Rev Ian Adams of the Maybe community.
