Communion

Communion

Communion is a piece of chancel furniture and an attempt to make a sacred object using a profane image. The scale model of a radio telescope is made to match the Gothic revival style of St Mark’s Episcopal Church with trusses of the dish imitating the woodwork of the church’s rafters and apse. Radio telescopes are elaborate constructions used to listen for signals from deep space. A church is a place to send and receive messages from the heavens.
