The Fruits of the Spirit

This installation is a colorful collection of images that illustrate the fruits of the Spirit. Each piece represents one of the fruits (as written in Galatians) with corresponding words from a hymn or scripture verse that relate to the larger word, creating an interesting composition of words and images. These are a powerful reminder of living, as guided by the Spirit!

Galatians 5:22-25

By contrast, the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against such things. And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live by the Spirit, let us also be guided by the Spirit.

Screenprints

Each of these images is created by using stencils that are hand cut out of wax paper or by painting masking fluid onto a silkscreen frame. Once the stencils are in place, ink is pulled through the stencils on the screen with a squeegee onto the paper. Each color is a separate layer; the ink has to dry in between. The image has to be planned in advance (usually a sketch) but there is an element of surprise where the colors overlap. (This is a limited edition as I created four prints of each image.)
