Previously Exhibited 'Red', Chapel on Station Gallery, 2011

This work was created for the ‘Red!’ show at Chapel on Station Gallery in 2011. There is an indication of the rocky Strathbogie Range landscape near Ruffy, silhouetted against a very, blood-red sky, clouds parting to reveal a descending yellow sun. Scrawled across the sky is a scrap of the lyrics from the song: “Come what may”, memorably sung by Euan McGregor in ‘Moulin Rouge’: “storm clouds may gather, stars may collide, but I’ll love you to the end of time. Come what may. . .” To the artist, such sentiments echo Jesus’ promise from the end of the Gospel according to Matthew - that he will be with us “to the end of the age.”

Private Collection.
