'Writing in Gold':  Carol’s illustrative talk on Iconography at The cornerHOUSE, Surbiton, Surrey

On Tuesday, 18th October, 2022 @ 7.45pm (Doors open, 7.00pm), Carol will be speaking about her progress in  learning the exacting discipline of the ancient art form of Iconography; describing her personal journey as an ‘apprentice’, as well as exhibiting examples of her work.

Carol will also be explaining some of the metaphors, techniques and symbolic uses of colour prevalent in the precise application of trying to present ‘the Luminous Unseen’.

Iconography could be said to inform a way of being; whilst offering,  (in our visually-driven culture), an opportunity to dwell with images of the ‘First Image’.   And to reflect on the portrayed principles of Orthodox, Christian belief.

Carol’s work, in the Byzantine tradition, has been shown in group exhibitions, such as at The Conquest House Gallery, Canterbury and this year’s display at The London Jesuit Centre, Mayfair, viewed by HRH The Prince of Wales.   Carol’s largest icon, The Holy Trinity (after Rublev) has recently been purchased for The Cathedral of the Most Holy Trinity, Bermuda, and is due to be officially dedicated next year.

Tickets @ £5 can be purchased via https://www.thecornerhouse.org/events/writing-in-gold-an-illustrative-talk-by-iconographer-carol-henderson/
