‘Wishes on the Wind’
Where gold illuminates sacred offerings and prayers find form.
Paintings by Stephanie Sandercock
Sculpture by Julie Moselen
“Wishes on the Wind invites viewers to reflect on their own sacred offerings – on the quiet strength that arises through reflection and the beauty that emerges when love and memory are bound together with gold. Just as prayers tied to a tree are left to the mercy of the wind, these works speak to the faith we place in the unseen—the quiet hope that even the smallest wish might find its way home.
Like the ancient Japanese art of Kintsugi – where broken pottery is mended with gold, Stephanie Sandercock’s new paintings embrace the cracks and imperfections of life, honouring them not as flaws, but as pathways to deeper understanding. The veins of 24ct gold running through each piece symbolize endurance and grace, illuminating the spaces where life has fractured. Muscovite mica is scattered like jewels in some of the work, shimmering like sunlight on the sacred well, or a glint of sunlight through weathered fabric. This interplay of light and shadow evokes a tender equilibrium – where openness meets quiet power and what has been broken is not only repaired but transformed.”
