Exeter Cathedral has taken delivery of a set of Stations for the Cross which will remain in place as an exhibition for tourists and pilgrims until the end of March.
Via Crucis is a touring exhibition of 14 images. The panels use mixed media (including charcoal, metal leaf, ink and pastel) and are the work of multi-diciplinary artist Caroline Waterlow, herself based in the West Country. Where the traditional Stations emphasise the suffering path of Jesus, this installation follows the gospel accounts of Christ's Passion.
