"Community" - Summer 2024
Location: Food Pantry Building @ Eastridge Presbyterian Church, Lincoln, NE
I was approached by a neighbor and a couple congregants from Eastridge if I'd be willing to work with them again on another project to help them express their worship in the visual form. I eagerly agreed as I've loved collaborating with them in the past. As I prayed over what might be placed on their building to represent their desire to serve the community at large, this image came to mind. To add to it, there was a need for an interactive component if this was to represent their church as a whole, so the idea was presented for the congregation to paint wooden hands to be the leaves on the tree. In this way, all ages could participate in the work of art and put their "hand" to its completion. It was finished in the heat of July and dedicated in October of 2024.
