Or £795 per month using Own Art payable in 10 equal interest-free monthly instalments
Steven MacIver’s latest body of work explores the idea of the “place of worship” beyond traditional religious settings, considering how contemporary spaces like stadiums foster similar collective rituals, identity, and shared emotion. In both sacred and secular environments, architecture, through scale, structure, and light, creates moments of awe and unity.
A key reference is the Great East Window of Gloucester Cathedral, whose vast stained glass transforms light into an immersive, spiritual experience. Here, it becomes a metaphor for how architecture shapes collective feeling, much like stadiums channel light, sound, and movement into moments of shared intensity. By placing these spaces in dialogue, the work reflects on how worship has evolved, revealing a universal human desire to gather, believe, and connect to something larger than ourselves.
