Yoko Ono at St Pauls

Yoko at St PaulsI was trying to find an excuse to plug an event put on by a charity I’m involved with. It’s an installation of two of Yoko Ono’s works, at St Paul’s Cathedral as part of the City of London Festival.

Yoko_Ono_Wish_Tree.jpgThe major piece is Morning Beams, installed in the north transept, modelled by the artist above right for the Church Times, and explained a little bit on the ACE website (scroll down). One hundred white ropes like rays of light. I went to see it yesterday evening and it caught the late afternoon sun very well.

Korean_wish.jpgOn exiting the cathedral, I saw the more easy piece to install: Wish Tree - a small tree or large shrub to which viewers are incouraged to attach a wish or a prayer on a piece of paper. I went up to it, and the first wish I saw was in Korean script. So here’s my excuse to plug the event, and armed with my mobile phone I took a snap as evidence.
