The
Stations of the Cross have been re-imagined in a wide
range of styles and media for an art exhibit, which was
on display during Lent of 2006 at Trinity Episcopal
Church in the Central West End of St. Louis. Fourteen
members of Trinity Parish each created a work of art
interpreting one of the Stations of the Cross.
“I was inspired by an
online exhibit I saw at the website for the Episcopal
Church and the Visual Arts,” said organizer Jeff Wunrow.
“Trinity already has a set of extraordinary bronze
stations that were commissioned in the 70s. But creating
a new set seemed like a great way to highlight the
diverse creative talents we have here.” The contributors
include professional artists, aspiring artists,
commercial artists and adventurous crafters. The art
styles include oil, pen and ink, photography, digital
art, collage, found object collage, textiles,
three-dimensional fiber art, and even knitting and
needlepoint.
“I was really surprised,”
said contributing artist Alexah Strongheart, “Some
pieces are political, some spiritual, and some intensely
personal. This has been a great experience for me, and I
know we’re all looking forward to sharing our work with
the community”.
The
contributing artists are Patsy Degener, Gilbert Fisher,
Ruth-Elizabeth Gardner, Billie Harris, Marjorie Hoeltzel,
Ted Jackson, The Rev. Anne H. Kelsey, Michael Simbeck,
Alexah Strongheart, Steve Turner, Tom Weber, Julien
Worland, Kate Worland, and Jeff Wunrow. |
