There have been times I felt excluded from God's love — not because of anything declared, but because of how I saw myself. The rainbow symbol in Christian Scripture speaks differently. It’s God's own declaration of ongoing love for all humankind, without exception. This work holds that declaration: a cross sending a rainbow out to the ends of the earth.
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.
