- its obvious that we can't capture all of what these categorical statements are saying about the superiority of God and the enormity of these claims about him. like that by him ALL things were created and that ALL things were created for him and through him. visual images just can't do that. even our language is indebted to words like "more than" and "beyond" and categorical statements...
- so if we try to take such a literal approach it could be...well...trying to do too much that images just can't do? too illustrative?
- personally i think i'm going to work towards showing how ridiculous it is to try to comprehend all this. i'll prolly work with figures and gestures, i need to do some sketches.
- a few more ideas i'm inspired by : pillars falling or being trumped by God's authority.
- maps globes
- holding things together with tape glue rubber bands
- dot & a line - like randy alcorn's illustration from that Na heaven message
- Jasper Johns, Richard Diebenkorn
- some greek mythology
- the gesture from Michelangelo's Christ in his The Last Judgement

I'm working. I don't have anything good yet but I recommend under- painting, as part of the process. The cool thing is that you always get these "happy mistakes" in painting. So I'm learning and I'm having fun. . .also reminding myself "it's not what you think up but what you get down" that matters. Faith is a process, not a product. Thanks for suggesting Diebenkorn. Peace.
