Menorah
Roger Wagner, 1993
St Giles’ Church
The Menorah is the seven branched candlestick with cups made like almond-blossoms. Standing in the Jerusalem temple in front of the Holy of Holies, the place where God's presence dwelt, the Menorah became a kind of visible symbol of God's invisible presence. Roger Wagner's 'Menorah' invites an exploration of God's presence, drawing on the familiar local landscape, and the story of the crucifixion.
