For an art project on 'fear' I'm doing a modern-day variation of medieval art where heaven and hell is represented - in my paintings, rather than saints, celebrities and the like will wear the haloes, while images of starvation and aids will be in hell. I'm sorry if any Christian people think this is blaspemous or whatever, but that's really not the point I'm making - the idea of the project is to highlight the mindset of many people nowadays and how shallow the ideals of much of the world has become while real problems await the apparently condemned millions.
Anyway, what I need from anybody who knows this well are some medieval artists and pieces that show the traditional murals featuring heaven, hell, purgatory, earth, or all of them, in any way that might be useful to me. It would be especailly great if I can look at it on the Internet, look at it in a book, or especially if they are in Northern England so I can visit them. Many many thanks and eternal gratitude in advance!
