2019, prayer cards & egg tempera on board, 97 x 74 cm
This work makes use of the prayer cards distributed in the
Roman Catholic Cathedral of Armidale, NSW for the purpose of praying for
priestly vocations.om Sinai, the earliest (6th c.) and arguably the most famous
icon of Jesus Christ.
The damaged prayer cards have been collected from the pews
and used as they were found. No additional damage has been done.
“By the hand of…” is a customary expression used by an
iconographer when they sign their work (on the reverse side of an icon). It
highlights the fact that it is not she who made an icon but the Holy Spirit,
she = her hand = was only the tool.
