All works have a beginning, a source of inspiration …
This work was inspired by: Fr Graeme Malone SSS, former chaplain of Mary MacKillop Memorial Chapel (North Sydney); and Fr Peter Collins SSS, whose oversight of renovations to the church of St Peter Julian in Sydney led to the creation of an inspiring environment for Eucharistic celebration.
