Icons of the Incarnation

This new book by Sophie Hacker celebrates an extraordinary fusion of artistic imagination and creativity, and marks the next phase for nine sculptural artworks which were first seen in Winchester Cathedral in 2008.  Alongside sumptuous reproductions of the art, the book offers us an insight into the artist's creative process and the links she makes with her own theological vision.  It also describes the processes of working with musician Sarah Baldock to visualise the themes inspiring Messiaen's La Nativite du Seigneur.  Accompanying medications by Roland Riem add a third dimension to this collaborative project between art and music, reaching out to the inexpressible in poetry.  Foreword by Richard Harries.

Sophie Hacker and Roland Riem will be attending a book signing event at the Winchester Cathedral Shop on 13 November 2008 from 10am - 12pm.

Available from 11 November.  Reserve your signed copy today by emailing sam.burwood@winchester-cathedral.org.uk (postage and packaging £2)
