Creating an experience that overwhelms with color, transcends the quotidian and encourages one to step outside the ego into a place of pure sensation
Message
A modest sculpture with an exalted attitude! In working with a folding circle, I discover a bishop's Mitre or ceremonial hat. It made me think about what the ritual luxury might mean about faith, history, doubt, power. How does this fit into the history of the Jesus who served the frailest among us? How does it relate to the socialist Catholic Workers Movement? I have no answers to those questions. But this sumptuous object delights as well as indicts.
- Subject Matter: church, faaith, doubt
