The Catholic artist Fiona Campbell Hicks introduces an exhibition of iconography, photography and poetry at Farm Street Church, which explores a journey out of the trauma of the Northern Irish Troubles through her own work and that of her late mother, Margaret Campbell

Lake Galilee is the lowest-lying lake on earth, and it was there that Jesus began his active ministry. Perhaps that is why I feel called to photograph lakes. Bringing together people and wildlife in their calm abundance, lakes can be metaphors for truce. I was delighted when Fr Dominic Robinson SJ, of Farm Street Church in Mayfair, London, invited me to hold an exhibition exploring the complex artistic relationship between my mother and myself, our joyous love of colour, and the journey from trauma to peace.
