A recent edition of national newspaper the News of The
World carried a small article about this statue by David Wynne which
is sited in the Cathedral's Lady Chapel - it stated under a small headline
of "Quite contrary OK - so what do you think ? Give us your verdict - e-mail : madonna@ely.org.uk For someone who has not grown up in a Catholic environment, the step towards a modern Mary is smaller to make than to one that looks like it comes from the Middle Ages or earlier. I have always found the classical Mary statues and images quite remote, dreary, over-chaste and unreal. I have never been able to understand how they can still generate devotion, either, although I am fascinated by a balance of male and female elements in the Church. I am looking for a small statue of Mary for in my living room, and if a small version of David Wynne's creation existed, it might well be the one I am looking for.
