He Hung His Head and Died, Joe Minter, 1999; at the Royal Academy; Souls Grow Deep Like the Rivers, Black Artists from the American South https://flic.kr/p/2ov2jLm
This work represents the three crosses on Calvary and the title describes the moment when Christ died. The figures are made from industrial brackets for shelving set against black metal crosses with rust that may suggest traces of blood, it is Minter's poetry that transforms common tools into a moving religious scene.
