ASCENDING/DESCENDING - I recently completed a stacked, 2 part piece about the intersection of the earthly with the divine. The piece is based on two passages from the Bible. First, Jacob's dream as recorded in Genesis 28 - "And he dreamed, and behold, there was a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven. And behold, the anghels of God were ascending and descending on it!"
The second passage comes from Jesus' comments to Nathanael in John 1 - "Truly, truly, I say to you, you will see heaven openned, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man."
This is the first piece where I have incorporated a form similar to Cypress knees to represent life arising from death or decay (as represented by the leaves on the ground at the base of the sculpture). This 2 part piece is about 7 feet in height.
