Nave Art: Long Green Growing Season
Soon we will start the season after Pentecost, Ordinary Time, and the color of that season is green. Green like the grass under our feet and the leaves on the trees. Ordinary time is our longest season, and as we say in Godly Play, the long green growing season. We are embarking on a fresh liturgical art project that brings the flourishing green and growing images of the world into our nave. We are going to create a photo mosaic from your photos of nature: plants, trees, flowers, butterflies, rabbits and so on. So go through your old photos that you don’t feel a need to keep, or take your camera out into the world and go take photos of green and growing things. We want to begin displaying the start of this mosaic on the 19th of June, so please start sending in photos today!
We ask two things of the photos, that they all have at least a little bit of the color green in them, and no human faces (other animals and critters are welcome). Second is that if you can print them yourselves, please do. Lastly, know that they will all be ‘squared’ and not returned to you.
If printing photos is difficult for you, go ahead and send the digital files to Rev’d Jane and we will print them out. Like the heart and star project, this mosaic will grow until it fills the area behind the choir, so photos can continue to come in, bringing your life beyond this space into its prayers and witness.
