Trying out a new riff on my circles-and-triangles style:
This one originally wasn’t going to be a religious piece (it was going to be something about motherhood), but at the last minute it became very clear that Tell Me the Stories of Jesus was what it was supposed to be called.
The figure at center represents the Savior in the garden of Gethsemane, and the faint light along the right side of the painting represents the angel about to arrive.
Another temple piece:
The bottom triangle represents the temples on Earth, and the top triangle represents heaven reaching down to us.
A new temple piece:
The individual triangles represent people and angels working in the Lord’s house to bring about his work and glory.
A slightly more abstract piece this time:
The two triangles represent Heavenly Father (left) and Heavenly Mother (right), unified and together as they watch over their children on Earth.
The second of the three new pieces for Sacred Shapes:
I see this as a thematic companion to In Good Hands, which is also in the exhibit.
With Sacred Shapes, I wanted to have some new art along with the old, so people in the area who’ve already seen everything online would have a reason to go in person. This is one of the three new pieces. Newish, actually. It’s a reworking of Shoulder to the Wheel, which I felt would work better in a wintertime setting. So, with 100% more snow:
I should note, too, that I’ve tweaked this one a bit beyond what’s in the exhibit (adding more snow, mainly).
