Life Breaks Through Photograph |
Artist Statement: In an abandoned elementary school along US 280 in south Georgia, a vine brows out of books rotting in a hallway. In Mark's Gospel (4:26-29), Jesus tells how the earth produces of itself producing fruit in ways we don't understand. While humans do wreak havoc on the earth, we also see how wired into creation is this tendency for life to break through. Land gets depleted by farming practices, mining, and pollution, but when we steward creation, working with the natural tendency for life to break through, we can help the earth repair itself.
