I'm trying to come up with a few select themes to use every few weeks to turn a little used chapel into a Quiet Space for people who use the other facilities of the building.
I was thinking about identity and the question 'Who am I?' exploring ideas of 'how do I see myself, how do others see me and how does God see me?' It reminds me of the question Jesus asked his disciple 'Who do people say that I am?' and later 'But who do you say that I am?' (Mark 8v27-29) . That in turn reminded of this poem by Jane Doggett called 'Melt Like Snow '
Each image of me
merges and comes apart
melting and moving
melding and splitting
meandering across my life
into the multitude of memories
and moments of my days
The mould is a multi-image
fractured and fragmentary
collage of tiny
cells and shapes
that break the norm,
the traditional view
of a person's profile
I am six characters
in a play
looking for an author
pirandello
to invent
and imagine
and innovate again and again
one day
they will all
come together
and then i know
that just like snow
they'll melt and go
forever
(Used with Permission)
I'm thinking of using a combination of mirrors, masks and images as well as written pieces like this, any ideas out there?
