| dc.description.abstract | The motivation in the creation of this project to is explore the connections between religion and art, and humanity and divinity through the process and product of painting. Through creating a series of paintings on the topic of encountering divinity, based upon digital abstractions of historical works, my goal was to understanding the narratives of my faith tradition in my own context and connect the spiritual to the tangible through the art-making process. Through this process, I have explored the tension and balance between history and modernity in the context of art and religion. Furthermore, abstract art can be a spiritual practice in creation, narrative, and form. | |
