| One Bread One Body
TECHNIQUES:bread-dough clay building, wood-crafted cruciform |
Artist Statement: Inspired by Paul's words in 1 Corinthians 10:17 "Because there is one bread, we who are many are one body, for we all partake of the one bread", I created this processional cross for the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America’s Rocky Mountain Synod. Originally created to be used in conjunction with a series of One Bread, One Body events held in eight locations within the synod's five-state region, the processional cross continues to be used at synod gatherings as a reminder of our kinship with sisters and brothers around the globe. Bio: Linda Witte Henke is a designer/artist specializing in work that reflects the seasons, themes, texts, and colors associated with the Christian liturgical calendar. Her sources of inspiration include sacred texts, hymns, prayers, and liturgical settings, as well as the theological reflections and insights that emerge on the course of her faith journey. Her work is informed by academic degrees in journalism and theology, extensive studies in art and surface design, and experiences as a parish pastor and published author.
