a few photos from my installation red tape. this is the blurb that went with it…
Red Tape
Mission is a border crossing experience whether geographical or cultural – into new areas, risky spaces, out of the comfort zones onto other peoples turf. In those spaces we are likely to be guests rather than hosts. Someone else is throwing the parties. When we make that journey invariably Christ is already there ahead of us.
Red tape (that great symbol of heavy handed control and stifling beaurocracy seemingly so much loved by religious institutions) explores how easy it is to forget this.
Do we cross borders or create them?
Whilst Christ plays in ten thousand places the church time and again has done her best to keep him wrapped in red tape.
