In June, I was invited to a ceremony to meet Pope Francis in the Sistine Chapel with about 200 artists, poets and writers in a celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Vatican collection of contemporary art. It was quite an experience and I received a mention in the New York Times. I also finally had a chance to see the permanent installation of my grid of nine photographs, Sistine Chapel Gestures, in the Vatican museum next to the stairway to the Sistine Chapel.
