Safina Stewart: Building Communities

The painting is about communities
and families set free, strengthened.
The trees are rejoicing...
In the background is a mountain
       and campfire
The underground river indicates
 the life force of Jesus
 Both paintings have gum leaves
 with a tint of gree in the foliage
to indicate a traditional welcome
from elders on to the land.

This painting depicts pattern work
     in the earths structure beneath
the surface, indicating a time-line
     from older to newer layers
indicating God's faithfulness
     over generations
Both paintings point to the central
     cross that lies between them as
indicating that the death and
resurrection of Jesus has been instrumental
     in the Jubilee.
