'And then I saw a new heaven and a new earth'
The artwork is my interpretation of the quote consisting of a lone female figure held back, captured and restrained in a desolate representation of the old earth and it's suffering humanity.
The new world and heaven rises above and breaks through the clouds to reveal itself.
She waits to see if the new Jerusalem will deliver her to peace in god's kingdom or will she be doomed, as is the rest of humanity to languish in the desert of god's judgement.
Pages from the 'Book of revelations' were carefully removed and adhered in sections to a quality canvas to act as a base, then the artwork was painted over in high quality acrylic.
Heavy use of impasto, gold metallic paint and gold leaf adds a great affect, especially on the floating city.
