Monthly column on student work

I recently went to see a friend's degree work at the Royal College of Art. Another student, George, joined us for coffee and proceeded to show me some examples of his work.

He describes his art as 'an exploration of the "self" that constructs and deconstructs the notions of gender, sexuality and identity'. It was shocking, to say the least; certainly not suitable for publication in Evangelicals Now. I discovered that George was brought up a Catholic in New Delhi, India, but absorbed Hindu and Buddhist philosophies through family ties. He now feels 'filled with a complex, multi-cultural trinity of deities, icons and beliefs criss-crossed inside.'
