SCORCHED EARTH
2023
Woodcut
84 x 120 cm 
4 panels, each 42 x 60 cm

This four-part woodcut work is based on archival images of the Gothic church of St Martin in Ypres, Belgium, which was destroyed in the First World War and later rebuilt. Destruction and continuity resonate in this maltreated landscape with a figure reminiscent of Christ.

The woodcut was created for the group exhibition CROSSING WAYS at the Musée d’Art religieux moderne, Basilique de Koekelberg in Brussels, where new works encountered objects from the museum's collection.
