Inspired by Dreyer’s 1928 film La Passion de Jeanne d’Arc, I made over two hundred sketches and thirty finished paintings. I chose the subject as a metaphor for an apparent loss of political faith in a rational, caring world. The paintings were exhibited in the crypt of St Martin in the Fields Church, Trafalgar Square, London in September 2010.
