Four Faces of Religion uses headgear linked to the main religious belief systems to test the power of symbolism to alter the way we read character and personality into a portrait sculpture by contrasting the loaded meaning attached to certain objects with four identical heads.
The paper cut-outs replicate the repetition of the four identical heads in the sculpture by being made with folded paper.
The Princes Avenue Proposal adapts the idea for an empty plinth on Princes Avenue, Liverpool, which is surrounded by four places of worship: a Greek Orthodox Church, a Mosque, an Anglican Church and a Synagogue.
