Restoring the ‘Water of Life’ sculpture in Chester Cathedral’s cloister garden, a much admired artwork completed in 1994.
“When I was finishing the installation all those years ago I was asked then if I was restoring it, and nearly thirty years later here we are, making it look new again.”
Offering new views of the well loved and familiar sculpture - looking up at the figures from below. The water feature depicts the encounter between Jesus and the Woman of Samaria, showing their shared bowl overflowing with water. The theme of water also suggests a link to how the Benedictine monks water supply was at the centre of the cloister garden.
We were also pleased to launch the sale of a limited edition maquette of this artwork, capturing the delicate details and texture alongside the beautiful interaction of the figures.
