page from my directors sketchbook:
"The Crucifixion" by Andreas Pavias, is from the late 15th century.
"focus. this is an image meant to promote, as music can, time-suspending, space-vivifying contemplation. Exactly this psycho-sensual dynamic lies at the heart of how icons, as spiritual utensils, function. I wish the exhibition made something of this, had taken as its third theme the reality of these objects not just as historical artifacts illustrating the progress of a culture or a famous career, but also as living and interactive energy sources, designed to embody and radiate charisma."
