Noel Kingsley's monochrome images of church interiors are created using exclusively traditional methods. He portrays the mood of the church, its silence, age and atmosphere. The church transcends time. It smells of musty antiquity, home to a homogenous combination of ancient and more recent elements bearing witness to centuries of parishioners. Beams of light from high windows cast a warm glow of life and luminous brilliance across shiny surfaces of old stone slabs and ancient wooden pews and benches. These places are a world away from the bustle of modern living, where we can quietly reflect and contemplate.
