From Elswyth, my record of the ways sound inhabits sacred space.

At St Gregory the Great, Harpford, the worn keys of the organ carry the memory of countless services – each note layered over generations. I witness the meeting of craft and devotion – wood polished by use, air and echo shaping prayer into something both physical and fleeting.
