Artwork Description

You know what it is. You recognise It in an instant. It is your Calling. It is your Protection. It is The Great Spirit that watches over you, defending you in your absence, vindicating you in your silence, working for you in your rest. It is the Inner Voice that warns you against this and urges you toward That. It is the Destiny that awaits you, that speaks for you, calls for you, and watches as you stand for the first time, take your first steps toward It and grow up into Itself. It is the Divine Masculine in Its natural and rugged form sheltering Its creator feminine, guarding Its family, and protecting Its children. You can make It your heaven and you can make It your hell.
If you choose It, the enemy will be roused and contemptuous and attempt to distract you from It, to move you in another direction and you will know pain and sorrow until you return to It.
It is the natural order of things.
There are many working for the enemy, watching you from behind their own shadows, seeking out your falter and your fail. You know them, feel them, hear their lies, smell the stench of their langour. They cannot speak the words to your face. They cannot own themselves before you. Because of It. It is all around you. It is inside of you. You have become It. And they fear It. They tremble at the recognition of their own departing soul with every anaemic and apocryphal step that they flutter. For It sees them just as It sees you.
Rise. Rise within you. Rise upon the place you have been put. Step into the fullness of It. Let It guide you. Look for It. Listen for It. It is loving. It is restoring. It is damning. It is behemoth. But remember - It is but a quiet voice.

There is a life photo shown with myself and my partner stand in front of the painting at a show to give you an accurate size reference 😍

Artist Bio

Collected both nationally and internationally New Zealand born Australian based multi award-winning artist Jo S. Stacey has work held in private collections in six countries across the globe. Her work has also been leased privately to help showcase multi-million dollar properties here in Australia. In 2023 her piece "Three Clydes" won best in show (AU$1,000) at the Sydney Royal Easter Show, and "Not Through Me" won the figurative section (AU$2,000). This year her work "Behind These Eyes" won best in show at the 1770 Art Show judged by Queensland Art Gallery and Gallery of Modern Art (QAGOMA) Assistant Director Tarragh Cunningham (AU$5,000).
Jo is faith driven with a passion for life and is inspired by simple moments in time that present themselves to us at any given moment. These brushes with life often feel magical or profound, and yet appear in seemingly ordinary environments to the watchful eye and waiting spirit. Sometimes they materialise in the back garden, a street corner, down at the beach while riding the horse, in our dreams or even in a conversation. These moments and conversations often feature in her work. We hope you enjoy.
