EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by James O. Davies transports us back in time to a fireside scene within the Church of St Mary, Ripple, Worcestershire. The intricate detail captured on this misericord reveals two figures comfortably seated by a crackling fire, their faces illuminated by its warm glow. A large cauldron hangs above the flames, suggesting that they are preparing a hearty meal or perhaps indulging in some festive merriment. The medieval wooden sculpture exudes an air of antiquity and craftsmanship that is truly mesmerizing. Every delicate curve and intricate carving tells a story of the past, allowing us to glimpse into the lives of those who once sought solace within these hallowed walls. Depicting the month of December, this piece evokes feelings of coziness and reflection as winter settles upon the land outside. It invites us to imagine ourselves sitting beside these figures, feeling the warmth emanating from both fire and companionship. James O. Davies has masterfully captured not only the physical beauty but also the historical significance embedded within this timber artwork. Through his lens, we are reminded of our connection to centuries gone by and how art can serve as a powerful bridge between generations. This print serves as a testament to our rich cultural heritage and reminds us that even in today's fast-paced world, there is still value in pausing for a moment to appreciate the beauty found in simple scenes such as this one at St Mary's Church.
