About
Jacqui Parkinson returns to the Cathedral to showcase her stunning exhibition, 'Threads Through Creation'. The exhibition includes 12 large vibrant panels depicting the Genesis story.

Jacqui's work is designed to be accessible for viewers of all ages. She says:

"It's a pleasure to have the exhibition in Peterborough Cathedral, such a lovely tranquil gem of a building. The creation story is a lovely gem in the bible. I hope the panels will add a sparkle to everyone's visit here.
"My aim is to capture the wonderful extravagance of the Creation story and to delight people who view it. Despite Adam and Eve's fall from grace, it remains a story of love and promise, something we can all do with these days."
