Church of Saint Sebastian

Chiesa di San Sebastiano (Church of Saint Sebastian)
Campo San Sebastian, Dorsoduro
Venice, October 2012

“Its contents make the Church of San Sebastiano one of the very centres of Venetian art, conserving as it does, an extraordinary body of works by Paolo Caliari, better known as Veronese. The confraternity of Gerolimine fathers founded the church in the 15th century, and then in 1506 a series of alterations gave the building its present appearance: a single-nave interior preceded by an atrium and raised choir and culminating in an apsidal presbytery under a cupola.” (Church of San Sebastiano, Chorus)

Approach Split

“Approach Split” by Gary Webb, 2010
Lend Lease's EMEA Headquarters
20 Triton Street, Regent's Place
London, September 2014

“Webb was born in Dorset but now lives and works in London. He developed his work whilst studying at Goldsmiths for a BA in fine art. He is an abstract sculptor who unites both traditional and modern materials in unexpected combinations and configurations. Initially spontaneous drawings, they are then developed into three dimensional objects, which frequently bear only a tangential relationship to their starting point.” (About the Artists, Regent’s Place Art Guide)

Cathedral of St. Sava

Serbian Orthodox Cathedral of St. Sava
West 25th Street
New York, September 2008

“Trinity Chapel was offered to the Serbs as well as to the Russian and Greek Orthodox communities. It was decided to sell the property to the Serbs for several reasons: 1) the Serbian people had no church on the east coast of America; 2) the project had the support of Yugoslav King Peter II; 3) the long-standing relationship of St. Bishop Nikolai with the Anglican Church in England and his particularly close connections with Bishop Manning and Canon Edward West.” (History of the Cathedral of St. Sava in New York, Serbian Orthodox Cathedral of Saint Sava)

Bust on the grave of Pellegrino Artusi by Italo Vagnetti
Porte Sante Cemetery, San Miniato al Monte
Florence, April 2014

“The whole complex is surrounded by defensive walls, originally built hastily by Michelangelo during the siege and in 1553 expanded into a true fortress (fortezza) by Cosimo I de' Medici. The walls now enclose a large cemetery, the Porte Sante, laid out in 1854.” (San Miniato al Monte, Wikipedia)

The Four Horses of Helios

---

“The Four Horses of Helios” by Rudy Waller, 1992
Coventry Street / Haymarket
London, September 2014

“The legend they relate to is that of Helios, the young and beautiful Greek god of the sun, who rises our of the eastern sea at dawn and crosses the sky in a blazing chariot before disappearing into the western waters as night comes. His son Phaeton, the shining one, hounds Helios into letting him drive the horses, to prove that he is the son of a god., but they are too wilful, too strong for him and Phaeton falls from the chariot to his death. It’s a story charged with boundless, blinding solar energy, but the artist Rudy Weller made these the blackest, wildest horses you will ever see in bronze. They are mean. See them snort behind the smiling faces of boys and girls from Tokyo, Texas and Telford, as the camera flashes go.” (Cole Moreton, The Four Horses of Helios, ThirdWay, November 2008)
