Witness will be witnessing to visitors from around the world

My dear Witness, the signature painting of my website and the signature piece of the Spirit Justice tour, has a new home. At the moment, it has been purchased by the good people of Aberdeen United Reformed Church and rests in a temporary waiting place. The new home is to be St Mary’s Chapel in the OpenSpace Trust.

From the Open Space Trust website: “Welcome to the OpenSpace Trust. The Trust was set up in 2005 and took the present name in 2008. It is a registered charity and a company limited by guarantee.

The vision is to create a vibrant space, in the heart of the City, within the significant heritage of the building (parts dating back 1,000 years) for the people of Aberdeen and visitors to use and enjoy.

The main focus for the OpenSpace Trust at present is to deliver the Mither Kirk Project. Already the Trust has undertaken the archaeological dig and completed the work required to the exterior fabric of the building. The next phase of their work will be construction of the interior to create OpenSpace.”

St Mary’s Chapel is scheduled to be open this month - St Mary’s Chapel. When it is installed, I’ll update you, and it is all quite exciting. The purpose of Witness is to gather people to see what the viewers in the painting see - energy, light, a non-anxious gathering. I’ve written and spoken about it here. It seems a perfect image to gather people from around the world into a non-anxious presence to witness a welcome light together.

Please contact me if you would like prints. The following formats are available. All prints on paper are sold on ivory mounting board. Frames may be ordered. Prints on canvas are stretched on wood.

Art Prints: Art Prints are created with laser printers onto quality wood pulp art paper.

Gallery Poster: Gallery Poster is a typical art gallery format with laser printer on poster paper, supplied rolled in a tube.

Giclee Prints: Giclee Prints are inkjet sprayed onto quality cotton rag paper. They’re known for their vibrant colours, fine details, and archival quality. The term "giclee" comes from the French word meaning "to spray," referring to the precise inkjet spraying process used in their production. They’re guaranteed to last at least 100 years (though no one’s been alive long enough since development to know…)

Embellished Giclee Prints: Embellished Giclee Prints are customised by me adding details, textures, or hand-drawn elements to make each cotton paper print unique. The result is a print that combines the advantages of digital printing with a personal touch.

Giclee Prints on Canvas: Giclee Prints are inkjet sprayed onto artist canvas material. This gives the print a texture and appearance similar to a traditional painting on canvas so that they resemble original paintings.

Embellished Giclee Prints on Canvas: Embellished Giclee Prints on Canvas are customised by me adding details, textures, or hand-painted elements to make each print unique. Embellishments added on top of canvas give the print a more three-dimensional painterly effect.
