This is so beautiful, I wish it was my church! What a gift Mako gave. I do love the starkness of the chuch compared to the ethereal glow of his piece. The Holy Spirit embodied, if that contrast makes sense? A note on ‘bad’ church art and architecture..most churches rely on donations and volunteers, at some level.. wether it’s bad or good, it’s usually done with a spirit of giving.

I find this image to be meditative–superior to so much “bad” church art. I could look at this for hours and enter into new spiritual territory.

abstract art…abstract Church?

This is the kind of environment in which modern abstract art can function very well. Contrasted with the flat, featureless beige of this interior, Fujimura’s piece looks positively lurid. The organic nature of the work also provides needed relief from the blankness and dull angularity of the modern construction.

I find the pieces that make use of metallics (gold and silver leaf, etc…) to be among Fujimura’s most affective.
