This is a prayer rope rooted in the Orthodox tradition hanging on a hook. The black beads form a meditative sequence of 100, with a single wooden bead placed among them — a reminder that Jesus left the 99 and found me. Three larger wooden beads hold space for the Trinity, and the blessing and empowerment I receive through them.
Breathe, Shine and Seek to Mend #3 is a series of ten small paintings exhibited at Two Folk Espresso, Hobart, 2026. Each work uses the Christian cross — in its presence or absence — to trace a personal journey through the tensions of faith. Drawing on scripture and history, the works explore love and loss, hope and sorrow, restoration and destruction, wonder and rage. Taken together, they are neither a defence of faith nor a rejection of it. They do not retell. They confess.
These paintings use a wide variety of mediums, while all limited by the standard 25cm by 30cm birch board base. They can appear like religious icons, pieces of jewellery, children’s paintings, light shows, vanity mirrors and much more.
