This is the sixth in a series of ten posts featuring artwork from the Christians in the Visual Arts exhibit, “Work: Curse or Calling?” Many thanks to Margot Rogers and CIVA for allowing us to feature these beautiful, intriguing, and challenging pieces here at MISSION:WORK. Please check out CIVA’s website for more information on scheduling the exhibit for your own church, school, or workplace, and to see the other images from the exhibit (there are 28 in all.) Today’s featured work is:
Worktrip
G. F. Sam Wagner (Overland Park, KS)
Mixed media: acrylic on panel and paper, ink
2009
12” x 9” x 1.5”Worktrip is from a series of paintings called “Little Things (I should have said and done).” It is Wagner’s look at personal relationships and response to issues of work and priorities, family and parenting. Although there may be regret from the past, there is hope for a better future as Christ continues to mold us. “For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good work, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” Ephesians 2:10
