The Chapel of St Peter and St Paul at the ORNC has commissioned designer Sebastian Bergne to produce a large scale contemporary nativity based on his domestic Colour Nativity sets. Each of the characters is a minimal wooden block that is recognisable by its colour, proportion and place in the composition. The project makes use of our learned experience from exposure to thousands of images, toys and Christmas cards over the years.    

Set in the neoclassical interior of the Chapel, this contemporary interpretation of the nativity will contrast impressively with its surroundings providing a thought provoking alternative to the figurative versions we know so well.
