Greetings All,
Here are some of the photos from the exhibit from the Station Of The Cross via Art Of The Passion.  I'm sorry I don't have the names of the artists, but I love what I have seen thus far.  Enjoy!

ASWR - update

Greetings All,

And Still We Rise: Race, Culture, and Visual Conversations. - Update

Greetings All,
About The Exhibition
Using the powerful medium of story quilts, “And Still We Rise: Race, Culture and Visual Conversations” narrates nearly four centuries of African American history, from the first slave ships to the first African American president and beyond. Through 71 quilts from more than 60 artists of the Women of Color Quilters Network, the exhibition reveals the stories of freedom’s heroes, ranging from Phillis Wheatley to Frederick Douglass to the Tuskegee Airmen.  My piece below is a part of this great exhibit and I am so very honored to one of the many.

And Still We Rise - A. Phillip Randolph

Story quilting is an art form that has derived in part from a long, rich history in Ohio and goes beyond the simple quilting patterns many people may be familiar with. Story quilting expands on traditional textile-arts techniques to record, in fabric, events of personal or historical significance. Through the accessibility of their colors, patterns and symbols, the quilts of “And Still We Rise” relate narratives that enable conversations about sensitive topics from our national history, furthering the discussion of racial reconciliation in America.

This exhibition is curated by Dr. Carolyn Mazloomi and is organized by Cincinnati Museum Center, the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center, and the Women of Color Quilters Network.

AOTP update.

Greetings All,

It is finished! I just need to the label. It took two days to remove Peter and John only to replace there where they were. I did add undergarments, but they are just about in the exact same position. Their undergarments are of cotton, the outer-garments are woven cotton. The heads, hands, and feet are of wool flannel coat fabric that I am wearing this winter, so I am covered in more ways than one.  The title is "With Open Hearts: Peter and John at the empty tomb."  This piece was created for the Art Of The Passion exhibit at St. Paul's Lutheran Church in Frankfort, IL

Twenty-four award winning and notable artists will be featured in a four week religious art exhibit commemorating Holy Week and Easter through a collaborative depiction of the Stations of the Cross and the Stations of the Light.  St. Paul’s Lutheran Church, Frankfort, Indiana, is host to the reflective and meditative gallery-walk March 22-April 18, 2015.

A juried exhibit, Art of the Passion commemorates Christ’s passion and resurrection.The 2015 exhibit brings together the creative work of a variety of artists into a meditative gallery walk.  The exhibit features two sets of stations.  Leading up to Good Friday, Stations of the Cross invites visitors to a deeper experience of the story of Christ’s journey to the cross.  Then, on Easter Sunday, Stations of the Light will open and continue the story with the Resurrection, as it guides visitors along the disciples’ walk with Jesus to Pentecost.

Twenty four artists have been chosen to interpret an assigned station within their own interpretation and style. The result is a dynamic and contemplative experience for the visitor and artist alike.
