I was surprised by the size and magnificence of the cathedral when I was walking down the street to the front of Grace Cathedral. It is tall and wide, and in the past few weeks it looks like a church we studied in class. As I approached, I began making Ghiberti Doors, also known as Gate of Heaven. These are the original cathedral doors made of bronze, the original replica at the eastern entrance to the Italian baptistry of Florence Duomo centuries ago.
Joshua and I have started this process when I lived in Grace Cathedral in San Francisco This magnificent Gothic Cathedral and the only Cathedral of the English Church in the West. As an invitation letter by Jane Shaw, chairman of the cathedral of the time, to explore the theme of grace, I would like to expand my process in a new way on this occasion. After years of solo performance, I think that the time has come to let other performers participate on the stage this time. I chose cello as a tool to begin filling the stage, I heard that cello is like a vocal.
Washington's National Cathedral, officially known as St. Peter and St. Paul's Cathedral, includes the Cathedral of the Episcopal Church, historical buildings, beautiful museums, a place of engineering for miracles, spiritual comfort. When I first visited the cathedral, I thought it was very big and beautiful. When I visited for the second time, I participated in a behind-the-scenes tour, I was shocked by the details of the cathedral. I appreciate it as much as I know about the cathedral. The size of this place is wonderful, the stained glass is beautiful and tells a nice store. There is also an interesting story about the integration of Darth Vader into the cathedral design. The damage to the structure during the 2011 earthquake was painful, and maintenance work is still in progress.
