Connection, a striking glass and light sculpture by Galia Amsel, will be on display at Chichester Cathedral until February 16 (free entry).

Ruth Poyner, visitor services officer, said: “This striking modern sculpture is suspended from the upper levels in the Cathedral’s baptistry and hangs gently above the font, an area used for baptisms and christening.

“This artwork refers to the traditional use of stained/coloured glass in places of worship, where the light through windows has historically served a dual purpose; firstly to light up the space within, and also to illuminate images and messages from spiritual texts.
