"Father-Son: One" (2013) by Quincy Owens |
If
Michelangelo's "Pietà" represents one end of the spectrum of faith-based design,
Quincy Owen's " Father-Son: One" must be the other. Owen's recent experiment was creating a series of meticulously smoothed mini-monoliths of wood, and we chose one as our joint Frankincense
gift for the Spirit. The wood is from the pew of an abandoned church, and is
fifteen inches tall symbolizing acts created by the
energy of Divine grace. Our two other gifts: “
Gold” (for the
mind) were a "Histomap of Faith through the Ages" and a William's Sonoma cocoa maker; along with
Myrrh (for the
body) --- an outfit from Saks Fifth Ave and a winter coat from North Face. It is however, the gift of “
Frankincense” that most reflects the reason that we celebrate these
12 Days of Christmas.
