Why is Religion Special?
Theocracy? No thanks.
Should we Respect Islam?
Does God Bless America?

 

  This is an art exhibition open to any form of art which can be placed into a webpage.

It can be prose, poetry (written or spoken), drawing, painting, cartoons, photograph(s), music or video. If it can be embedded into a webpage you can send it in. If sculpture is your thing you'd better borrow a video camera. You can also send in a complete webpage if you prefer.

The theme is abandoned places of worship, the graveyard of religion, empty churches, the decline or end of faith. You can interpret it fairly widely. All work must be original, by the person submitting it and free of copyright restrictions that prevent its display in this exhibition. Copyright will remain with the original artist.

All artists get the credit they ask for and links to the contributors' websites will be included. There are no prizes except praise for your work and exposure to the public. If there is the call for it there will be a vote on the winning entries. Material may be submitted via email attachment or post it online and send me the link.


Dead Church.

Martin Willett

A montage of original photographs not retouched or coloured using any photo-manipulation software, just reduced in size, the colours come from the cheap but effective approach of holding coloured toffee wrappers in front of the flash and/or lens. The photographs were taken on different days with different skies and from slightly different angles.

An abandoned Church, in Stockport, just the steeple remains.

The two yellow dots show the camera positions used.

Nearly a Mother: MP3 file (2.07 MB)

This is a song called Nearly a Mother.

A woman had a baby which lived for 59 minutes. The words are addressed to God.

I wrote the whole thing, but it is a true story. I know the woman.

Nearly a Mother

I can remember looking forward to anticipated laughter and smiles
I thought the good times were coming
You knew I was wrong all the while
Why did you fill my heart with such love only to turn into pain
How can you see my tragedy without hanging your head in shame

How could I know what you had in mind
when you helped me to reach for the moon?
How can I understand why you give with one hand
then take back your own much too soon?

I guess I'm not perfect, but nobody is
Most people seem to be just fine
You are the boss of the lottery of loss
and this time the ticket was mine

How could I know what you had in mind
when you helped me to reach for the moon?
How can I understand why you give with one hand
then take back your own much too soon?

Did I ever do something to hurt you?
I wonder what it could be
You're so cruel if this is your payback, cos look how much you're hurting me


How could I know what you had in mind
when you helped me to reach for the moon?
How can I understand why you give with one hand
then take back your own much too soon?

Lefthook


 

A condemned man - completely innocent, but unjustly accused - wakes up on the morning that his sentence is to be carried out, and sees the instrument of his death outside the window of his cell. A cross hangs on the wall near his cot, an icon his wife gave to him the day he was imprisoned.

Will his faith save him?

Beau Tochs
