'Vessey is an artist of integration, with a unitive vision, seeing God and stories interwoven within landscape. Christ and an angel underpin several of these landscapes, while light irradiates and illuminates from deep within. Images within images, paintings within paintings, are all set in a chapel within a chapel: visual and spiritual depth held together.'
Vessey thinks the particular duty of the artist who is a Christian is to develop images and symbols that stretch the meaning of our inherited biblical visual vocabulary.
