I find new versions
of the Stations of the Cross are always interesting, how artist
respond in fresh ways to a traditional subject, and to the challenge
of creating a set of c.14 images which stand on their own yet are
also part of a larger whole. Markell’s images have a simplicity
that enhances their power – I brought them as a set of posters and
seeing them at a larger scale than the low quality reproductions in
the book itself is clearly beneficial – they mostly use silhouettes
and have a strong graphic quality.
As well as a simple
liturgy the book also has a three reflections for each station, one
for each from Cottrell, Gooder, and North. It is interesting to see
the personal takes on the stations – they find different themes and
different tones in their responses and this is enriching.
It is a resource I
would highly recommend.
