when i first visited st johns church , i was overwhelmed by some of the inscriptions on the headstones ,one in particular, where one family had lost an eleven yr old son 2 weeks before xmas, and their other ten year old son died a week later, been a mother myself i can only envision the absolute agony of those people, i wanted to not only give a description of the structure of the church but also try to look into the past, the screaming faces are hence emulating some of the agony that was once present at st johns and in some ways is still present.
i used my daughters face as a starting point and from there i distorted that image of her face.
the 4 church steeples represent the different times of the day through different tones of colour
