Invitation: Art Installation on Wisdom and Reflection

Our church hosts a public art gallery/music venue, inviting talented artists and musicians from all over the country to share their gifts with our fair city.

This past Friday, though, was a project/opening put together by those talented individuals of our congregation’s Visual Arts team and was a reflection on Wisdom through the Psalms and Proverbs.

Each installation has its own story and its own relevant reflection covering lament and joy and perplexity…No matter what your spiritual beliefs, these well-known books express much of the inexpressable parts of the human condition.  Well, this bit from the site says it better than I can…

These works are at times simple, and at times complex. Reflecting the very nature of the Psalms themselves, the works occupy a visual space that is at once both literal and metaphoric. Feathered wings hanging from the ceiling cast a shadow inviting reflection on both celestial beings and the bone structure of nature’s aviators. A bed cloaked in astro-turf at once invites comfort and questions our modern attempts to harness and recreate nature’s ubiquitous forms. “Questioning Clocks” use simple icons to reflect universal questions constant from ancient minds to modern times.

Unfortunately the descriptive “statements” are absent from these iphotos.  But still- they’re cool to look at.  And perhaps you’ll just have to come on over for a visit.
