PILGRIMAGE OF STORIES AND STONES

Rood Screen Veil

Rood Screen Veil
2023
Oak, brass, glue
Inspired by the Rood Screens that separate the Nave from the Choir in cathedrals. The rood screen is a symbol of the veil between heaven and earth, of life, death, and resurrection. It is also a physical separation from the common folk and the clergy.  It creates a barrier between the sacraments being performed or the salvation promised, and the people who seek it. the rood screen is a symbol of power that the church holds over it's members.
This veil sits between the wearer and the world, altering how one views everyone and everything around them.
Oak is s symbol of wisdom, strength, endurance,  and rebirth. It is a sacred tree.
