Angel, Banner of The Resurrection, Church architecture, Church of England., Churches, glass, Jesus Christ., stained glass., The Resurrection, tomb, Wimborne Minster
To quote from Richard Taylor’s “How To Read a Church“, “The moment of the Resurrection is not recorded in the Gospel, but it is widely portrayed in the art of the Western Church. Jesus emerges in glory from the tomb. He is dressed in white or gold and may be holding the banner of the Resurrection, a pole bearing a pendant with a red cross on a white background“.
Here the banner has a white cross on a red background, but I think it is safe to say that the central figure in this scene is Jesus Christ, bearing the wounds of his crucifixion (note hole in the palm of the right hand), rising from a rather fantastical tomb! The scene is made even more unusual by the presence of an angel in the foreground removing what looks like the lid of what Taylor describes in his book as a “modern box-tomb“, which seems to bear little relation to the crenelated from which Jesus Christ is emerging.

"Small World" by Simon Thomas, anti-matter, At-Bristol, Bristol, Bristol Cathedral, Bristol Cathedral Choir School, cone, glass, Paul Dirac, public art, quantum theory, Reflections, sculpture, Simon Thomas, window shopping.
To quote from the At-Bristol website:
“This striking piece, sponsored by the Institute of Physics, commemorates the work of Paul Dirac, the Nobel Prize winning scientist/mathematician who was born in Bristol.
Paul Dirac is most famous for his contribution to the Quantum theory and his discovery of anti-matter“.
I don’t know anything about quantum theory or anti-matter, but I do like a dramatic cone. The building behind the sculpture is At-Bristol, which has “hundreds of hands-on exhibits to explore, live shows and a Planetarium“. Reflected in the glass you can see the traffic on Anchor Road, Bristol Cathedral Choir School and the twin bell towers of Bristol Cathedral.
