Genius Loci – Spirit of Place

A site specific installation for an alter at New Romney Church which captures the quality of light, space, matter and the passing of time and human activity that all combined to give particular places special spiritual qualities.

An Anchoress View:

In the east wall of St.Stephen’s chapel, New Romney Church, between the aumbrey and the doorway to the high sanctuary, is a small square hole that goes right through the wall to where, on the outside of the church, in the middle ages, once stood a cell. In this cell lived an anchoress, a nun, who had withdrawn from the world for religious regions and who lived the life of a hermit but who could, through the hole, listen to and perhaps take part in the church services.
