According to Gloucester Cathedral's website,
Crucible is one of the largest and most important exhibitions of contemporary sculpture to take place in Britain during the past decade.
It even has it's own website.
It was a huge exhibition, and made the cathedral look very 'strange' in places. But some of the works were amazing. I was just disappointed that there wasn't enough information about them all (although I did see someone walking around with a big book which looked like it had full details in it!).
I took quite a few photos, lots of which are on My Flickr page. But here are my two favourite sculptures. They are both amazing pieces, but also both very disturbing.
I just started typing why I like them, but I think I'll just leave it up to you to see what you think.
'Calvary' by David Mach RA, made from Steel and wire coat hangers
'St Bartholomew, Exquisite Pain' by Damien Hirst
We went up to the whispering gallery and I took a random pic from up there, which I really like.
