By/For encourages artists to create sacred worship art by the church, for the church.
Artist Donation: Countenance
Countenance is an example of Nihonga, a traditional Medieval Japanese painting technique. Pigments are created by grinding minerals, shells, corals and even semiprecious stones. These organic pigments are washed onto handmade papers. The crystalline paint reflects and refracts light, dynamically changing the color and texture of the work.
This interplay between light and organic materials is a metaphor for the Holy Spirit, that illuminates and animates God's physical creation. Countenance captures the reflection of the Creator's gaze on His creation.
