One of the students I'm working with, Jessi, hard at work.

So this past week students and staff alike have been beginning to work on some of the pieces for the exhibition, hashing out in art some of the answers to the questions we've been asking doing the image surveys on campus. The one we're exploring in detail this summer is the question, "What image would you use to describe God, and why?" This is not so that we can paint a million crosses or doves, fishes, or images of what we think Jesus looks like. Instead, we're asking ourselves the question, how can we explore, in art, characteristics of God that speak to humans are always seeking for in other things? Its been a great experience so far.

Today the students are finishing up a collaboration between themselves and one other student, exploring how they've responded to the image survey and what their image of God is. They have a critique this afternoon, our first in fact.

Here's some images I took late last night in the studio.
