The Fire Within is a 12 panel piece designed for liturgical use that can be installed in a variety of sacred spaces. It can be hung or arranged free-standing. It has been used in many local churches, usually during the season of pentecost. The symbol of God's spirit in Pentecost is the flame. Like a wilfire, this spiritual fire is seen as regenertive, a cleansing fire and a reclaiming fire.
