In the collection of St John of God Hospital - New Norcia Museum
The project God is in the House is an attempt to find the sacred shapes within the everyday objects of our homes and decorate them with fine hand stitching and lace work like a trousseau, to create a more domestic heaven. Like tiny sacred cities these installations embody important ideological concepts such as clarity, transparency, relevance, endeavour and an overarching multi faith acceptance. The title piece, a 60 piece cathedral installation has won the 2018 Mandorla Art Award will be housed permanently in the art collection at the Benedictine community of New Norcia.
