There's a fantastic exhibition of four of Mackenzie Thorpe's bronze sculptures at the Christchurch Arts Centre for a couple of months. I'm aiming to build next Sunday's service around the themes they offer as well as preach on the one pictured at the induction of a colleague this Thursday. The exhibits with their bronze curves look fantastic against the neo-Gothic Arts Centre buildings. The exhibition has coincided with the opening of a stunning permanent display of sculptures representing the experience of people suffering from dyslexia just over the road from the Centre. Falling in Love is part of the permanent display. I will post my reflections on the Thorpe sculptures on the St Stephen's website after Sunday.
