For Lent in 2020 we decided to work through the 7 Blessing statements in the book of Revelation. We planned this before we knew anything about COVID-19 and our hope was to reflect on the tension that we see it how those who are called “happy” are often the ones suffering and sacrificing in the book.
Our creative team came up with the idea of building a vertical agamograph at the rear of our communion table. As you approach the elements from the back of the room you saw a somewhat haunting picture on a black background. The nearer you got to the table the change in angle allowed you to see an image on white that echoed the promise of that week’s blessing.
Alyssa Lentsch designed each weeks works. Unfortunately COVID prevented us from finishing the series in person. We only got to experience the first four pairings. You can see them in a side-by-side format below.
