A DAY IN CHICHESTER

I had a really lovely day out in Chichester yesterday.  I got plenty of shopping in, but I also had a really good mooch around the Cathedral.  I took loads of photos of 'bits' I liked, such as textures, stained glass, carvings and stone work. I have put together a couple of photo mosaics of my visit using snippets of yesterday's photos.




  The Cathedral Font - a very modern design but absolutely beautiful.  It's polyphant stone and beaten copper by John Skelton, 1983.



The Cathedral is also hosting an exhibition by Jules Findley and Alice Kettle called 'Loss'.  As written in the exhibition catalogue it "explores issues associated with particular loss, which may resonate with a shared and wider experience."  The work is beautiful, sensitive and has incredible detail in it.
The exhibition runs until March 29th and the entry is free.

These two photos are the top half and bottom half of one of the embroidery exhibits by Alice Kettle.
