This is the second paper sculpture I’ve created for the “Living Water” SALA exhibition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Depicting the joyful Living Water of baptism, water is symbolically linked to the Holy Spirit (dove).\u00a0 All efforts to keep the water within the picture failed!\u00a0 Living water can\u2019t be contained – it insists on overflowing boundaries to give life to the world!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The dove was sculptured using the technique I created for Moments in Flight<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The water was inspired by my Splash!<\/a> table centerpiece, but it\u2019s a new design created with three layers of vellum paper in shades of grey, blue and white.  Behind the layered cut-outs is silver foil, to give the impression of water sparkle.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once again, the complex framing of the piece was a challenge to accommodate the delicate layering and 3D images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
