Also a full time priest in the Church of England, Judith frequently speak the words, ‘The Lord is here’, and in making the pictures wanted to explore visually, freed of verbal constraints and dogmas, what these words mean 'in colour and shape'.  To speak of the presence of the Spirit of God in various aspects of human experience.

Judith says: "I hope that the pictures will be accessible for anybody, of Christian faith or not, as we all live within the spaces between the known, the now, the not yet and the unknown."

Her pictures are constructed from torn paper collage and acrylic paint applied in a number of ways. Colourful and 'sizeable', the pictures are expressive of the surprising movement and energy of the Spirit at work. They also express some of the struggle to hold a position of faith, and they refer to some of the key moments of the life of Jesus as he entered into what it means to be human, according to the artist. 

The Exhibition includes a service, with music composed for the occasion by Charles West, on Sunday September 26 at 6.30pm.

Charles’s music is a striking interpretation of six of the pictures, full of its own rich energy and colour. It will be performed by the Beare Trio (piano, clarinet and cello), all professional Devon musicians.
