Fish & Pita, Mark Hewitt, April 2012. Pastel 290W x 210H.

The post resurrection story of Luke 24:41,42. Where Jesus appears to the disciples, shows his hands & feet then eats broiled (chargrilled) fish. This brings an intimacy & the cultural obligations of hospitality to the narrative. The illustration has Tilapia, the fresh water fish of the sea of Galillee & pita bread with wine.

Christchild  through a window, Mark Hewitt, Dec 1996. Mixed media, corrugated iron, wood, cotton, silver gelatine photographs, oil paint.
870Wx1080mmH

Luke’s account of the birth is simply put ‘And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in bands of cloth, and laid him in a manger’ Luke 2:7 NRSV. This Christchild is set in an Australian setting as if looking into a shed through a window. This setting could be urban or rural as corrugated iron clad sheds are found in both. The Christchild is wrapped in a flour bag placed on a potato sack as Luke presents the Christ as food for the world.
