Amate: Love! art display
Amate: Love! by Elma Eidse-Neufeld
Amate: Love! is an exhibit of handcast paper sculptures tracing the appearance of human symbols since the dawn of time. Thirty-two pieces form the narrative. A “thread of red” runs through the work, contemplating the love of God in creation and redemption, and suggesting how God enters our world of signs and symbols to transform it through His Son, who is “the express image of His person” (Hebrews 1:3).
The show imparts a timeworn, hallowed feel. Accompanying commentary incorporates the visual arts with literature and history, interpreting the work through quotes from the ancients (Malachi, Augustine, Milton) and historical interaction. The viewer is drawn to the text through the texture of the sculpture; the reader is led to the artwork through the artistry of the writing. In this way, the art show focuses on the communicative word – visual, symbolic, literary – as well as on the Person of the Word. The devotional tone of Amate thus encourages personal approbation of the truths behind the language of emblem.
