Collage with gingko leaf on canvas on board.
Original acrylic and natural leaf collage (28.5 × 29 inches) framed with a bronzed wood frame. With layers of meaning, this painted gingko leaf was found under the trees at the courthouse down the street from my studio. The cross, boxed in by the layer of wrapped canvas on canvas, is released as the healing (gingko trees are known for their healing properties) increases. The colors enhance the concept of release as the gingko leaf is painted gold and gold is release in the cross.
This work came after reading and meditating on the story of Mephibosheth, the man crippled as a child. After King David was restored in his relationship with God, he wanted to show the same UNLIMITED mercy to someone as underserving as he. That is the message, the cross releases us into the UNLIMITED mercy, love and kindness of God.
Blessings,
Barbie
