About the Exhibit:

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning…The Word became flesh and dwelt among us. We observed his glory, the glory as the one and only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.
—John 1:1 – 2, 14

Sandra Bowden’s work functions, both for the artist and audience, as a bridge between two worlds. Through tangible images and objects arrayed in layers of paper and paint, she has given us a veiled glimpse into the unseen world which is the ultimate hope and destination of our faith.

Her works are complex meditations on time, incorporating Biblical archaeological references and ancient text. She invites viewers into the mystery of the Word, breaking down each text she handles and making the words themselves into a visual meditation that is rich with many layers of meaning.
