Font as a Work of Art

It is an interesting contrast when you see modern artwork in an ancient setting. I suspect some people can’t get their heads around it but when something is hundreds of years old, there will be many generations of styles that will have been embodied and why not add something new. The font in Salisbury Cathedral was a fascinating addition to the setting. The size and shape of it combined with the reflective qualities of the water within really looked interesting. It had people around it most of the time which limited what pictures I could get but trying to hone in on sections of it or focus on the reflective properties was what I tried for whilst accepting I wasn’t going to spend too long messing around.
