Eleven sculptures constituted this installation that spread across the cemetery of Wells Cathedral. And If They Were To Rise? is about the place between soil and sky, upon which it can sometimes feel we are condemned to walk. Crowds of compulsive thought and pain of aching flesh, the return to soil the final liberation. For some the Church offers a path to peace in the present. For others Art does the same. These sculptures are meteorites. No longer meteors hurtling through space, they are held in stillness in this cemetery, their interrupted trajectories encapsulating the possibility of peace within life.
