Forging Nature, Tracing the Spark

Jason and Deb Sheldon see the world as created. With the eyes and hands given to them and with a deep sense of the need to do so, they the created, also create. In so doing, Deb and Jason strive to proclaim their Maker by fashioning works which imitate and capture the spirit of this world. They hope He likes what He sees.

Hope Reflected Promo Card

Winds of up to 175 mph, a death count of 1,836 with 705 still unaccounted for. People swam for their lives or became prisoner to 15 feet of water. That was five years ago. Today it looks as if hurricane Katrina just struck. Tragedy can happen anywhere despite the fact that God is everywhere. Living inside that conundrum, those who remain in New Orleans will tell you hope is their home. Come and see what remains from disaster—temporary treasures and permanent scars—odd symbols of hope for us these five years later.

Enigma is a word artists love. Caught in the draft between the spirit and flesh, West Coast artist Glen LaMar probes the lives of Paul and Job. A consummate colorist, LaMar’s work is both gesture and vivid abstraction. Brilliant patterns resound with light and emotion having woven the paradoxes of faith in between the canvas and paint.

We trust our eyes. Usually. We see what we see and act accordingly. Or not. But what happens as we skirt the apparent to imagine what God sees — risk knowing and being known. Clearstory Gallery’s newest interactive installation wrestles with poverty and redemption in a barrio in Mexico, where you just might find that beneath the surface we are them and they are us.

Clearstory Gallery is honored to present a photographic installation by artist and photographer Jim Van Gundy.
