Canterbury Cathedral has for centuries been the focus of pilgrimages and journeys started in hope and faith. The Cathedral will now host an exhibition of a fleet of countless ephemeral vessels.
Cross-Currents is an installation of hundreds of beautiful, delicate hand-crafted boats embarked on their own journey through the vast architecture of Canterbury Cathedral, each fragile boat symbolizing the transient passage of the life of an individual.
These beautiful and fragile hand-crafted boats serve as a powerful metaphor for the impermanence of life and human vulnerability. Participating in the creative process is very much a part of this exhibition; visitors and the community will have an opportunity to participate in the Cross-Currents voyage through the practice of creating a boat themselves to accompany the fleet.
