"I often think of the set pieces of liturgy as certain words which people have successfully addressed to God without their getting killed." --Annie Dillard, Holy the Firm (Harper & Row, 1977) To read further, and to see more pictures of recent and ongoing projects, see my blog, littlepictureBIGPICTURE.
Other Artists: Reflections:
New York Times ART REVIEWS; Colonists, With Paintbrushes By HELEN A. HARRISON Published: June 13, 2004 "...Although the show's title is more a convenience than a coherent theme, several of the 18 participating artists use materials or create forms that invite viewers to violate the ''do not touch'' rule. The most direct is Erling Hope, whose two woodcarvings of hands studded with brass pins address the question of interpretation through touch. Using Braille, the hands can read words as effectively as eyes do." Image Update Read this newsletter Issue #46 | March 15, 2004 "...They illustrate how good liturgical art, ever adaptive, can quicken the visual life of faith. From Melaine Twelves' Black Jesus in the Kalahari to Erling Hope's up-close tangle of lines and limbs, the unfamiliar shapes provoke an instinctive double-take, startling the spirit awake to the long-familiar. Easily accessed, the exhibit makes a lovely supplement to the season's mood of contemplation and penance."
