Wings of the Spirit
Take a closer look
This painting is composed of a selection of the favorite prayers, Psalms and biblical quotations of its owner. Words form the details of the structure in the style of microcalligraphy, and the whole may be variously interpreted to be a wing, a seed pod or a flame.
Acrylic paint and acid dyes on heavy silk fabric. June 1999.
