Community prayer offerings of lament
Psalm 8
Melanie A. VanderWal
Calvin College LOFT Chapel, Grand Rapids, Michigan
Painting is paper on canvas with mod-podge, latex and acrylic paint.
Psalm 8 incorporates laments written by the LOFT community on Sunday, September 25, 2005. Amongst a grouping of lament psalms, Psalm 8 stands out declaring words of praise. The image painted on the written laments reflects upon the words of hope spoken in the sermon by Rev. Mary Hulst. The painting was hung in the chapel for a Psalm Festival held on October 15, 2005.
