I was asked to fulfil a commission for the installation of Bishop Helen-Ann of Newcastle. She had asked NCEA Dukes secondary school to design a customised wrapper for the Tony’s Chocolonely bars to be distributed during the service. The design represents Bishop Helen-Ann’s journey so far starting from Coldingham where she was baptised and features a koru, the Maori word for an unfurling fern which represents new life, because of +Helen-Ann’s time spent in New Zealand, and a Celtic motif to represent +Helen-Ann’s new episcopal area in the Diocese of Newcastle. I took the original design, brightened the colours and adjusted the text layout so that the design was ready to send to the Tony’s Chocolonely website.
