EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant print captures the intricate details of the base of the east face of the Moone Cross, a remarkable artifact from the 7th century. Carved with utmost skill and precision, this stone object is a testament to Ireland's rich Christian heritage. The base depicts three powerful scenes from the Old Testament, each filled with religious symbolism and profound meaning. The first scene portrays Adam and Eve succumbing to temptation in the Garden of Eden, reminding us of humanity's fall from grace. Next, we witness Abraham's unwavering faith as he prepares to sacrifice his beloved son Isaac—an act that ultimately demonstrates God's mercy and provision. Lastly, Daniel fearlessly faces a den full of lions, showcasing his unyielding devotion to his beliefs. The color palette used in this artwork adds depth and dimension to these biblical narratives. Every hue carefully chosen by artist CM Dixon brings life to these ancient stories while evoking emotions associated with faith and spirituality. Located in County Kildare, Ireland, this high cross stands tall as a symbol of religious devotion within our country's history. As we gaze upon this photograph print by Mike Dixon, we are reminded not only of our shared cultural heritage but also how art can transcend time and connect us deeply with our spiritual roots.
