Gerry Judah’s twin sculptures in the nave of St Paul’s Cathedral were created to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the beginning of the First World War. The sculptures are three dimensional cruciforms that are meant to portray the meticulously maintained war graves of northern France and further afield. Each sculpture is also embellished with miniaturised destroyed residential blocks depicting war zones in the Middle East – Syria, Baghdad, Afghanistan – thus connecting one hundred years of warfare.

St. Paul's Cathedral was designed by Christopher Wren to replace the old Medieval style cathedral that burn down in the fire of London. Christopher Wren decided to go with English Baroque style, making St. Paul's the first non-medieval styled church on London. The Cathedral's main floor is divided into five sections; the Nave, the Dome, the North and South Transepts, and the Quire. <br>

The Nave is the longest section of the Cathedral.

The Dome is comprised of three parts. The inner dome the support cone and the exterior dome. Wren wanted the dome to reach 365 feet in height, but didn't want the interior to seem out of proportion. The inner dome is meant to make the inside look natural while the cone supports the outer dome.

The North and South Transepts were originally meant to be longer. That design got rejected and they were made shorter in order to make the building appear like a cross from the outside.

Background


Gerry Judah’s twin sculptures in the nave of St Paul’s Cathedral were created to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the beginning of the First World War. The sculptures are three dimensional cruciforms that are meant to portray the meticulously maintained war graves of northern France and further afield. Each sculpture is also embellished with miniaturised destroyed residential blocks depicting war zones in the Middle East – Syria, Baghdad, Afghanistan – thus connecting one hundred years of warfare.

Interpretations on the Work

Many people believe that Judah wants us to see how wasteful and how useless wars are to the world. His sculpture suggests the damaged, torn buildings represent the bodies and families that were ripped apart creating mass graves in residential areas. The sculpture suggests controversial themes such as life, death and God.
