This can be seen more clearly in the following link which also shows the lit lamps. I wasn't convinced by this artwork although after reading what it was about I found it an interesting concept. http://www.salisburycathedral.org.uk/news/nicholas-popes-dramatic-apostles-light-cathedral You will be pleased to know it is only a temporary exhibition placed there to co-inside with Pentecost. It will be leaving at the beginning of August. I am not generally a fan of modern art either although there are exceptions. Modern art doesn't make me rage, but it often makes me laugh! I remember my visit to the Tate Modern. One of the temporary exhibitions consisted mostly of daubed bits of hessian cloth, rope, sticks and abstract objects all strategically placed within the rooms. I took one look at it and smiled to myself. Then two people entered the room. One of them was obviously an art aficionado and was giving vent about all the ins and outs of the art installation and the works within it. I had to move away from them because it was all I could do to refrain from laughing. Judas has actually been placed off to the side.

Went there to see the tiled ceiling in the church (known as the Systine chapel of tiles) as so often in Italy it was locked up and no one could find who had the key so the institute gave us a guided tour of their place and inside were these. http://gooddayrome.files.wordpress.com/2013/07/p1020412.jpg Cherie, interesting story and terracotta figures, in a similar vein you might like this, came across them them in the ceramics institute in Castelli in the Abruzzo Italy, these giant ceramic figures (there are about forty in all) are used to line the streets once a year for a religious festival.
