Images hold the charge of revelation, not in what they show, but in their capacity to make wonder visible.

The Cauldron

Captured on film in Iceland and Spain, the images reference the mid-16th century  Augsburg Book of Miracles. The Book of Miracles is an account of a time when many were gripped by the conviction celestial and terrestrial occurrences were deific omens of impending doom.

The images can be read as panels in a contemporary manuscript that echo the triptych of belief set out in the Book of Miracles (Augsburg, 16th century) - portent, disaster and salvation – using the camera to conceptualise revelation, uncertainty and renewed faith.
