QUIETUS

Winchester Cathedral provided a 1,000 year-old context for rites of passage around death through burial and cremation. Exhibiting Quietus here utilised the Gothic architecture, the numerous tombs and chapels with sarcophagi and mortuary chests. Julian’s work ranged throughout the cathedral, responding to the rich variety of space and design. The monumental scale of Quietus gained a new power and there were instances of great resonance between the material of the objects and the fabric of the building. In particular the opportunity to site work on the 13th century encaustic tiled floor highlighted the shared use of materials.
