Tree of Life
56 inches wide by 43 inches high*
The tree was beautiful in its greatness, in
the breadth of its branches, for its roots went down to
abundant water. Ezekiel 31:7
This design employs the stylized image of a tree to envision
the life of God's people, the Church – the span of its
branches imitative of the breadth of God's own embrace, the
subtly nuanced colors of its foliage reflecting both the
seasons of nature and the seasons of God's activity and
purpose, its grounding reminiscent of the abundance empowered
in us through our baptism into Christ.
*textile pieced from commercial cotton, linen, silk, and
synthetic fabrics and embellished with machine appliqué. |
