From the series Roses of the Soul
A series of contemporary images of devotion.This particular painting is part of an Altar.
You can view more detail photos of the entire altar piece here.
At the exhibition opening someone stood in front of a painting and said "when I look at this I feel hope ... if only we could take it back and hang it in the office" ... and I thought – "this is exactly what I was envisioning these works to do – to provide hope and healing in the most mundane of places".
View the exhibition booklet here, which includes the verse that inspired these works and a Q&A with Emily discussing the overarching themes of the series and their connection to well-being.
