2 Corinthians, chapter 5, verse 17, The Holy Bible, New King James Version I deal with this issue of change in my work, alluding to the notion of a transformation. I use the human hand as it carries connotations of both universal and personal identity. Out identities are formed through our interests and perceptions, which in turn become a part of our identity. I use objects that relate to and represent aspects of my life that are a part of my old self. Increasingly the objects are lost, whilst the hands purity and clarity becomes more apparent, representing this notion of a new creation. I use an ornate gold frame as a tool to unify each series of work and as a vehicle to suggest the brokenness of such emphasis evident in much church life today. Essentially my aim is to present Christianity as a very real change that takes place in a person’s life in stark contrast perhaps to the general publics perception of religion. |

have passed away; behold, all things have become new”.
