Overview




Background or Origin of Article


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.
