FROM OUR STUDIO:Our work is included in the ECVA juried show titled: Justice & Peace. Our work shown here is one of two accepted into the show and was a commission we received from Forthspring Inter Community Center in Belfast, Northern Ireland and is titled: Belfast Peace.
CURATOR'S STATEMENT: In this exhibition, the third in our Baptismal Covenant series, artists were invited to respond to these lines from the covenant:
“Will you strive for justice and peace among all people, and respect the dignity of every human being? I will, with God’s help.”
The resulting exhibition articulates the inherent tension between care for ourselves, our own families and communities, and a respectful concern for the broader community of faiths, cultures, and the environment. Each image calls us to a broader world view, inviting us to see ourselves as part of a larger whole and to act upon that understanding.
We invite you to sit with these images and see what response awakens within you.
Diane Walker
Curator
