Book Description: Beginning with her own attempt to design and construct a private chapel, Laura Chester (Bitches Ride Alone; The Story of the Lake; Lupus Novice), takes us on a pilgrimage to 28 other private places of worship--temples, chapels, stupas, and shrines. Luminous photographs by Donna DeMari reveal the intimate nature of these unique places. From a chapel made of tires in Alabama to one fashioned from wine casks in California, all these creations invite Chester to ponder many questions, among them: What spitiual path leads someone to create a private place of worship? Does such a space conflict with more public worship? Why do artists so often feel moved to explore their spirituality? As Laura Chester says, 'Holy Personal . . . bears witness to a yearning for religious privacy, a deep desire to create for oneself a holy chamber, a place where creative expression joins hands with devotion.' Included in the book is a visitor's guide to selectedworship spots. |
