The spaces for art, and the movement within them, are more complex than the linear nave of the church it inhabits. A cube-like room, roughly in the same location as the altar, is accessed from the back, as seen in the image at left. So instead of a straight path, both visually and physically, a curving loop is created, in what can be seen as a subtle means of inhabiting the church without adopting its linear axis or symmetry uncritically.
