Ash Wednesday Ekphrasis: An Encouter of Word and Art
Ekphrasis, the Greek word meaning “to proclaim or call an inanimate object by name,” is traditionally a verbal or visual description of another work of art. At heart, it seeks to allow one medium of art to encounter another, and to allow one artist to step into the world of a fellow creator. This Ash Wednesday, three Resurrection artists offer the ekphrastic results of their time spent with van Gogh’s “Pietà.” This poem, reflection, and painting are meant to lead you into a time of reflective worship as we enter into the season of Lent.Ekphrasis, the Greek word meaning “to proclaim or call an inanimate object by name,” is traditionally a verbal or visual description of another work of art.

Of all the friends and family excited about our book project, Back to the Manger – A Treasure Hunt for the Nativity he was beaming over it.
