Featured in a Art 21 episode of art and spirituality Feodorov questions Western culture's tendency to "castrate the powerful" as we fear that which we can't control. He explains his opinions on spirituality and contemporary society in an interview in the episode.
"..during the renaissance they [Western culture] turned these frightening powerful angels into these cute chubby cherubs; born again Christianity has turned the frightening, judging Jesus into a best friend.."
(Art 21 and John Feodorov, "Forest at night". http://www.pbs.org/art21/artists/feodorov/clip2.html [accessed 21st September 2009])
"I think religion is the explanation of spirituality, and i think the mistake is that it's not necessarily something that needs to be explained. t think it's just sort of this hamper that you kind of throw things into."
