"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.
