This quote inspired my artwork and is foundational to my faith.
“The life of the Trinity is characterized not by self-centredness but by mutually self-giving love. When we delight and serve someone else, we enter into a dynamic orbit around him or her, we centre on the interests and desires of the other. That creates a dance, particularly if there are three persons, each of whom moves around the other two. So it is, the Bible tells us. Each of the divine persons centres upon the others. None demands that the others revolve around him. Each voluntarily circles the other two, pouring love, delight and adoration into them. Each person of the Trinity loves, adores, defers to and rejoices in the others. That creates a dynamic, pulsating dance of joy and love. The early leaders of the Greek church had a word for this – perichoresis. Notice the root of our word ‘choreograph’ within it. It means literally to ‘dance or flow around’.”
Dr Tim Keller - “Reason for God: The inner life of the triune God”
This piece of work, especially when people spin the work, reflects that love and delighting “dance” within the Triune God; the dynamic orbit between The Father, Jesus, Holy Spirit and his believers, the church. I have weaved within the fabric and thread different materials to symbolise each person. In the pressures of life when everything is a blur, I see myself as one of the fabric scraps, holding on because I’m tied and weaved into God’s love. I’m only a small scrap in the big tapestry, representing my faith in its humility, purpose and belonging.
