This is a powerful collection of woodcut stations, and there is something about the medium that seems fitting to meditations on the Cross – placing wood at the centre of the image making, and that it is in cutting that the image is made possible.
The meditations take us beyond the images and engage with themes of social justice – that one can not look on the pain of the Cross in love and turn a blind eye to the struggling within our communities is a point we sadly need to be reminded of often.
Using these one a day over a fortnight I felt soaked in them – I think they need some space around them, and if you took them in a single sitting they would only touch your surface – so take them slowly.
