Nobody ever accused Marten Holmes of being too conventional. Yet his photographic exhibition 'A Sideways Look' gives Christian tradition a new twist that makes non-Christians raise questions about faith. In September, the St. Ives Festival Celebration of Music and Art provided the opportunity to showcase Marten Holmes' exhibition. The Last Supper remains a popular source of interest. Based on Da Vinci's famous mural, the striking photograph 'Supper' comes with an explanatory text. "This image has been moved from the Jewish Passover into a Christmas celebration, but has been posed with the disciples ignoring Jesus to reflect how Western society has left Christ out of Christmas."
