Spark and Echo Arts is excited to feature the new painting, From the North by Seth Ruggles Hiler, created in response to Jeremiah 13:20. Seth sees an irony in the relationship between the Shepherd and his sheep, drawing from his experiences as inspiration.
Spark and Echo Arts is delighted to premiere the painting Two Bites:Still Life with Blood Orange by Braden Williams. Mr. Williams created the work in response to Genesis 3:6, as part of our exploration of passages dealing with “Beginnings”–in this case the beginning of sin.
Through the theme of “Beginning,” we are happy to feature a new photo collage created by photographer Melissa Vandermause in response 2 Timothy 3:15 about childlike confidence.
We are pleased to share the brilliant and beautiful work of painter Maria Fee, based on 1 Corinthians 12:26. “If one part suffers every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.”
A visual exploration of newness, creation and beginning by Emily Clare Zempel, responding to Isaiah 43:18-19, “Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I am doing a new thing…”
Each of Spark and Echo Arts’ curators, artists and staff will be creating new works for 2012 based on these themes which run throughout Biblical text.
When Annie Levy photographed Jason DaSilva, he spoke of a short film, When I Walk, that he had just completed for the Tribeca Film Festival. After working as a filmmaker for ten years, he decided to focus the lens on his own experience with having primary-progressive MS. When thinking about making Jason’s portrait, Annie connects this experience to a passage in Deuteronomy….”Choose Life.”
A new song – and a new artwork in response to the new song – by Portland musician Cameron DeWhitt and artist Jon Roberts, both trying to reconcile conflicting ideas about God through their work.
Focusing on the idea of “perception,” we are pleased to feature two works by painter Paul Trapp. Paul paints images of ordinary objects and places derived from empirical observation. He searches to know more about the sensory experience of God’s creation, and how we can use our imaginations to experience this world in new ways.
We are pleased to feature a photo collage created by photographer Melissa Vandermause in response to a story about sight from John 9. Melissa will be creating new artwork that Spark and Echo Arts will debut on our website in January 2012.
