FMP_BALANCE_RELIGION

The areas I'd like to focus are on the SPLIT:

Why people believe in religion;

Why believe that God does not exist;

Why violence is part of their religion.

I practice Islam and regard myself as being a 'comfortable muslim'. Believing in, like many religions, the calm, peaceful, serene side. At what point does religion change to being extreme and violent using or involving physical force.

I'm trying to arrange an interview like session with a Muslim Priest and a Priest who used to be the Reverend of Coventry Cathedral.

Deliverable:

A sculpture, maybe a figure depicting the religious sides -
good/bad//evil//wicked//cruel//ugly//spirtual//tranquility//devotion//screaming//death

Posters, printed in the 'split duct process' which will consist of photography of my sculpture with visual typography.



Herbert Art Gallery

Visited Herbert Art Gallery in Coventry to get inspiration. Old painting styles of fleshy demons and divine light, then adding angles/geometry almost like Picasso's cubism but with a sinister beast impression. The painting below could be interpreted as the evil darkness emerging from the pure white or the pureness overpowering and drowning evil.
