In His Hand by Allison t Regnier
Believing at a young age that “It is only with the heart that one can see rightly…” (1) fuelled my desire to visually render “what eyes have not yet seen.” (2) When we are given the eyes to see (3) what we are at the core of our human existence we can connect with what makes us fully human, for “what is essential is invisible to the eye.” (4) In my personal experience as a beloved child of my heavenly Father, He reveals to me UN-seen things and gives me the ability at times to bring them into being. In: VISIBLE realities become incarnational. When filled with the breath of life, they begin to take on a life of their own. They bypass the usual ways we comprehend and “speak” things into being that did not previously exist in our understanding. As one given the language of images, with awe, I endeavour to communicate such unseen realities, and see them spring into life eternal.

In His Hand by Allison t Regnier
The Lord has used this sculpture to encourage many people struggling to trust Him with abandonment like a child or for faith in the midst of infertility.
The verse on the back of the greetings card reads, " I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." Isaiah 41: 10
More Details
Symbolically, two sculptures were formed from the same block of clay. The first; a bride and groom called, “The Dance”; and the second, a baby in a hand from the clay filling the empty spaces and insides of the first. After seven years of marriage we were told it would be very unlikely for us have a child. This little embryo of a child cradled in a hand became a visual prayer request for the child that I desired but did not have. As I struggled to let go of my desire to be a mother, I sensed God was telling me to rest like a little baby in His hand. When against all odds we did have a child, it seemed just like when God blew the breath of LIFE into Adam when He formed him out of the clay. Our awesome Creator is truly The LORD of Life! This sculpture has been seen by thousands of people in churches in the USA and France as part of a visual testimony during worship services.
