Prayer Wall St. Philip the Deacon Lutheran Church Plymouth MN 2017 Oiled black walnut, 68" x 68" Using ancient texts as well as contemporary additions, this prayer is taken from the liturgies of the Lutheran church. It is divided into four quadrants, reading top left to top right, then bottom left to bottom right. There's something about the sensitivity of this text that has always struck me.. the intimacy and kindness to the poor, the closeness to the human condition while still being Creator of the stars and universe.
