Moments of Grace

Deep darkness interspersed with light and the ‘Caravaggesque’ tradition of chiaroscuro play a key influence in my photographic art practice as I explore my own response to the profundity of emotions wrought by deep spiritual connection. I understand grace as the unmerited peace of God given to the restless, often best understood in the midst of suffering and brokenness, when struggle overpowers and need is greatest. This was my graduating project and was an exploration of moments of trauma in my own life when I found myself seemingly in free fall, yet caught in the arms of grace.
