Episcopal Diocese announces selection of artist for Pediment of the Cathedral Church of St. Paul

ARTDAILY
MASSACHUSETTS - The Rt. Rev. M. Thomas Shaw, SSJE, Bishop of The Episcopal Diocese of Massachusetts announced the selection of artist Donald Lipski to complete the long-unfinished pediment of the Cathedral Church of St. Paul at 138 Tremont St, in Boston, as part of major renovation plans in celebration of the 100th anniversary of its dedication as the diocesan cathedral. Lipski’s proposal incorporates a non-traditional sculpture depicting a cross-section of a chambered nautilus placed against a blue field, to be dramatically lit at night. The pediment has been empty since the building’s completion in 1820. [link]

"Lipski’s proposal incorporates a non-traditional sculpture depicting a cross-section of a chambered nautilus placed against a blue field, to be dramatically lit at night..." but what does that have to do with a Christian church?

I agree. It does seem a bit odd.
