Resurrection

St. Faith’s Anglican Church, Vancouver, B.C., 1990

This hanging makes a statement about the Resurrection and Ascension of Jesus. Christ now lives and is present with God on our behalf. Death and Resurrection are Universal – for humans and for nature and for all systems. This gives me hope in every painful situation.

It was necessary for me to believe this after the then recent death of my husband. And I find it continues to be so needed.

The Tree of Life has been a recurring thread in my work – and again I see it here in these ideas about new life. Indeed it has been there for all of time, from Genesis to Revelation.
