Here are some photos of recent mosaic of St Dominic, completed just a year ago. It was commissioned by the Anglican Bishop of Chichester, Right Reverend Dr Martin Warner, and done by artist James Blackstone over the course of a three-month residency at the cathedral, during which, he worked alongside fellow liturgical artist Martin Earle within a custom-built studio. The project was developed with another celebrated liturgical artist, Aidan Hart.
Aidan, Martin and Jim who are Orthodox, Roman Catholic and Anglican respectively, have recently established a new studio and liturgical art school - The Chichester Workshop for Liturgical Arts - under the patronage of Bishop Warner.Saint Richard of Chichester, bishop of that see from 1244-53, was prepared for the priesthood by the Dominican Order in Orléans, and St Dominic’s apostolic spirituality informed his ministry across his diocese.
