I have an ongoing
fascination with the Stations of the Cross, not just as a devotional
practice but also as an artistic challenge. They require 14 imagines,
working as a group and yet having individual integrity.
It was William
Fairbanks Forest Stations, in the nave of Lincoln Cathedral, that got
me hooked – they are a true masterpiece (or maybe masterpieces).
The booklet Stations
of the Soul is perhaps unusual because both the imagines and the
written reflections are provided by Joan Keogh.
Keogh has captured
that balance of giving the Stations a common format but a distinct
character – a welcome addition to a long tradition.
