The Parish Frieze
Price includes free postage and packing.
This full colour hardback book is a record of The Parish Frieze artwork created by Strange Cargo, involving 110 people who live, work, study and worship in the parish of St Peter’s Church, Folkestone, who were captured as 3D printed sculptures to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the Parish of St Peter’s.
Overlooking Folkestone Harbour, St Peter’s is known locally as the fishermen’s church. Every June since the 1890s ‘The Blessing of the Fisheries’ procession of fishermen and women, together with choirs, clergy, and civic dignitaries has taken place in the parish. In 2018 Strange Cargo captured this unique procession in The Parish Frieze: 110 members of the congregation and Parish were scanned in detail, including The Most Reverend Justin Welby, Archbishop of Canterbury. 3D statuettes were then printed to create a perfectly rendered miniature procession that is now permanently installed in the entrance hall of St Peter’s. This artwork is unique to St Peter’s Church: it is the first time people from across an entire Parish have been scanned and the 3D printed result installed in a place of worship.
Included in the artwork are two figures that have been printed larger than the rest of the Frieze: The Fisher of Men and The Star of the Sea. The parishioners are Harry Mardle, a local fisherman wearing the archetypal yellow oilskins, and Kayleigh Collins, draped in a blue shawl and clasping a starfish over an everyday white top and trousers. Both Mardle and Collins are descended from generations of Folkestone fishing families. The frieze forges a renewed connection between the diminished fishing community and the church, and also creates an anthropological record of a diverse 21st century community. ISBN 978-0-9569-336-5-2
