We today have a language to celebrate waywardness but we do not have a cultural language to bring people back home. And so everything I do has something to do with that.
– Makoto Fujimura, artist, writer, and speaker

…my artist soul needed to see this…thank you April! I’m so glad you share your beautiful colorful thoughts with us…
So glad you enjoyed this as much as I did!
April, I just now saw this post, as we were on holidays in Ontario. This artist reminds me a bit of Ray Dirks at the Mennonite Heritage Gallery, and his purpose and goal in encouraging people to express their spirituality through their art work.
I would never have made the connection between the two, but now that you mention it, I can understand a commonality in purpose.
