Artist Statement:

This photo documents an installation in Perth in 2012 that registered a very current and ongoing prayer for spiritual wellbeing.

An ancient Biblical metaphor for such spiritual security was the idea of household vessels being hung up on a deeply set peg built high into the wall of a home. The peg was appropriately positioned and singularly strong enough to ensure that there would be no accidents that cause breakage.

Many precious vessels could be hung on such a peg or beam.

This work leans into that concept to expresses a prayer calling for a profoundly faithful and true premise for our lives: Strong enough to bare the weight of Life’s complex responsibilities and high enough to overcome Darkness’s very real possibilities..

As a prophetic metaphor of Hebrew origin, this concept hails the Messianic hope of One person who is specifically appointed and anointed lto bare such weight and offer such spiritual refuge.
