Exhibition Statement
I was just so happened to have been asked to show this work again and I it is a timely word of hope for 'Black Saturday'. Take note of the trunk of the tree which has been through a bush fire. I believe this image is a message of hope for Victoria.

I saw to paint the tree from Revelation 22:2 with all different leaves on it to represent the unique calling and destiny of people of all tribes and languages who are growing on the tree; the God vision.

In a world of wars and natural disasters this is God’s promise of Revival,

Healing and Restoration of the Nations

Most of the leaves, flowers and fruit on this mixed media work have been collected from around NSW, then digitally scanned and printed on high definition paper to emphasise the incredible details of each cutting. The leaves are the unique individuals, the orange represents constant divine love and the pomegranate and chili represent our internationality and unity in diversity.

Where ever this painting is exhibited as an installation, I believe it is like the tree is planted there for that particular time, as a reminder of God’s promise and also as an act of prophetic intercession.
