Salutation is an art installation by Shaeron Caton-Rose. This large-scale video piece has been commissioned for Wallspace, the art gallery in the City church. It will include sheets of muslin suspended across the nave, onto which videos will be projected. The artist also plans to project a DVD onto the side of the church from the building opposite.
Salutation takes up the theme of the annunciation, when traditionally the angel appeared to Mary to announce the birth of Jesus. The artist is concerned with the questions that surround the tension between destiny and design. How much of our lives are we actually able to influence by choice and how much is beyond our control? With Salutation, she creates a quiet space for the viewer to reflect on an individual response when life deals the curve ball of circumstance.
Falling feathers video to be projected onto City of London church
Wallspace – the art gallery in the church of All Hallows on London Wall – will once again be lit for Christmas when a large-scale video of falling feathers is projected onto the side of the church from the building opposite.
The projection forms part of Salutation, an art installation by Shaeron Caton-Rose. Inside the church, sheets of muslin will be suspended across the nave, onto which videos will be projected. And once again, the mirrorball mounted in the church tower, will bring some sparkle to London Wall.

Shaeron says, “All my work is concerned with the myths and metanarratives that inform our society, whether these are ancient beliefs, such as faith systems or fairytales, or modern day understandings about how things ‘are’ or ‘should be’. I am most interested in seeing how reality and actual experience measure up to these, and how they interweave with one another.“
The exhibition is free. It is open from Tuesday to Friday, 12 – 6 and Saturday, 11 – 4 and continues until the week before Christmas.
