Choosing Transcendence
Artists are as able as any to address the deep moral and theological questions that face us all. And, they're equally able to contribute to reconciliation and renewal, or not, as any. Art serves to keen its audience's relationship with the world situation. Art takes on an entirely new dimension, a transcendence, when an artist’s insight into the pain and suffering of the world is paired at its core with the redemptive promise of Christ.

On View: from Mourning to Morning by Dorothy Ralph Gager. From her series of six sculptures on view at ecva.org.

What an awesome meditation on, and illustration of, our ability to choose where and how we stand. I went from here to the ECVA archive to see the entire series and read the artist's words. It was a journey well worth taking --it made my spirit smile and loosened the stiffness that appears there from time to time.
