'But everything exposed by the light becomes visible—and everything that is illuminated becomes a light. This is why it is said: “Wake up, sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.”' Ephesians 5:13-14

'Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light' Matthew 11:28-30

Wake Up, O Sleeper is a response to the often-held belief that the Bible is a fairy story, something of old, now outdated and irrelevant but useful to tell stories to children at Easter and Christmas; part of the feel-good factor. I wanted to respond to this and invite the viewer to reconsider the validity of scripture.
