The imagery and symbolism associated with notions of "the sacred" within religious ideologies is a current investigation within my work. Focusing primarily on the Western tradition of representation of the divine, my research also interrogates related subjects such as the psychology of personal faith, ecclesiastical insignia [iconography] and the visual form in ritual. Working with religious elements raises compelling issues with regard to faith (blind faith) and implies a crucial questioning of religious institutions impacting politics and personal artistic expression.
