The Crucifixion of Simon Peter Foster

Terence D Hughes

Simon Peter Foster is a sculptor of characters from Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland. All of those characters superbly designed by Sir John Tenniel, Simon sculpts them life-size in wood, painting them in brightly-colored enamels and gold-leaf. Late with his rent, Simon drives to his landlord’s estate and agrees to sculpt a large crucifix for the estate chapel of his landlord Bruno, who is a man of violent reputation, and Bruno’s butterfly-brained wife, Estelle. As the work progresses, Simon comes to realize the enormity of Christ’s sacrifice for mankind upon the Cross; he begins to experience this Earth as the holy place it is - the Garden of Eden, where souls are not necessarily attached to the body.
