The Heavens Declare Series
The Heavens Declare
Artist Statement
Worshipping God is a primal urge and a natural response in the natural world. These pieces explore the way the act of responding to God's self-revelation shapes the lens through which I view the world. In each piece, contours and values connect human figures with other natural forms suggesting that the earth exists in a perpetual state of praise that humans can happily enter into. Because I am a Christ-follower who does not have strong denominational preferences, I have been formed spiritually in a wide variety of worshipping communities. Each community leaves its mark in these pieces. This series is a reflection on my experience as a worshipper and a resolution to hear and respond to God's disclosure of himself amid a cacophony of distractions.
