Silence Artist: Faith Alexander
“Be Still And Know”, textile painting, ©Faith Alexander 2007
This entry is from one of our parishioners, a very active member of our Ecclesiastical Arts Committee, Faith Alexander. I’ve dubbed it a textile painting, sort of a painted quilt/wall-hanging. You can contact Faith at fcalexander@earthlink.net.
Faith says: The title “Be Still and Know” is taken from the Psalm 46:10, “Be still and know that I am God.” A figure floats in a bubble of calm amid a busy stream. Warm washes and bits of bright color represent the frenzy of what the outside world calls ‘holiday season’ while Advent blue and purple sustain a meditative atmosphere.
