Caught in the Middle was born from the thought of how we are caught between society, the day to day challenges, temptations and doing what is right according to our Maker, God. These are my observations of how we have forgotten that with a little faith and a lot of love, we can overcome some of life's most devastating pains.

The contributors have tried to reconstruct the mingling of two cultures, Greek and Italian, in sixteenth century Venice. This is examined through the medium of a single intricately carved wooden cross, executed by a Greek carver, with adaptations suitable to a member of the Latin church. We can identify the carver who made the cross and make some speculations about his life, and how he and his art are reflective of this hybrid culture. This type of cross seems to be for personal, rather than liturgical use, and it seems to be intended for private meditation on the Passion.
