MARS

Mars – the bringer of war, chocolate bar, Bruno or yet another amazing creation by celebrated artist Luke Jerram.

Once again, Chichester Cathedral hosted another of Luke’s incredible planetary art installations and Mars was no less stunning than either Gaia or the Moon.

Gaia - planet earth

The Moon

Wonder in silence at this mesmerising red globe spinning in its ecclesiastical orbit.

Mars - Chichester Cathedral

Ponder on its strange pock-marked exterior, its circular craters could almost have been created by a million pebbles simultaneously hitting the surface of an interstellar pond.

Strangely mesmerising

Beautiful red ambient lighting

What are all these strange rock formations?

Is there life on Mars? And if so, what would they make of all our antics here on earth?

Matt Damon?

I hope Luke will continue on his solar quest and fashion further planets. Imagine how spectacular Saturn might look or a big blue Neptune?

I’m not going to mention Uranus …. No-one wants to see that!

Recommend an evening viewing so if you haven’t already been then please go see it, otherwise catch his next exhibition if or when it comes back again.

Truly stunning
