Project Overview

Designed to cater for a more intimate service, the Chapel is a simple elliptical form with a single shaft of light bathing the front portion of the space. As construction of the Rose Chapel neared completion, we suggested to the Client that appropriate artworks would add a sensory tranquillity to the inner sanctuary of the chapel.

Following research, and via Manyung Gallieries, we proposed Wendy Grace a Melbourne artist to our client.

The artist prepared three beautifully layered pieces which are reflective of a bushland clearing where the play of sun and the dappled light cast by the trees can bring a sense of calm and sensory kindness.

“Art enriches our life through sensory sensations. Art allows us to envisage that which is not, it is this power that enables us to empathise with others; to travel to other places in our mind.”
