Ice and Fire revisited

Helen Gilbert, the project coordinator for Ice and Fire at St Ethelburga's has written a review for the monthly newsletter - thank you Helen.

Helen mentions the fact that the ice, unexpectedly did not melt completely which got me thinking about the endings:
The event had two endings; parallel narratives - an internal and external:

• The un-finished business of melting and release 'in the interior space' of the building - the ongoing  process of transformation.
• The water returned to its source 'out in the city' - with flashes of gold glinting in the long drop down to the Thames, and then out into the darkness downstream. An unexpectedly beautiful farewell;  release and re-union with the stream flowing into forgetting and unknowing. I felt this ending was a resolution; a trusting to the tide to carry it home.
