ABOUT THE SHOW

Two Way Reaching: The Holy Invitation of the Fertile Dark

—-

There’s a rhythm stitched into both nature and the soul:       

We go down before we rise.

Our transformations often begin in places that feel unknown, uncertain, even dark. This exhibition follows  that sacred rhythm through three living symbols — soil, flower, and tree — re-examining our Garden  story of origin as a pattern of growth and becoming.

Faith is the soil that holds us when sight fails.
Hope is the flower reaching quietly in the middle space.
Love is the tree, rooted and crowned, bearing fruit for others.

Through these paintings and poems, you’re invited to kneel in the dirt, breathe with the flowers, and rise with the trees. To hold both the shadow and the light — as Christ did — and to discover that what feels buried may, in truth, be the beginning of the bloom.

“Down is the way up” – Emily Shay
