Advent Banner

Advent Banner with Jesse Tree Ornaments
for Immanuel Presbyterian Church 2024. Size 6’ x 17’

I created the advent banner to be interactive. Each Jesse Tree ornament and nativity figure is removable and may be added to the background layer during the weeks of Advent. Everyone arrives to Bethlehem for Christmas.

Papier Mache Nativity

I collected church bulletins for a few weeks before Advent to create a group of nativity figures. I recently added a group of kings that make their way to the Christ child.

Pentecost Banners

Lent

I created the Stations of the Cross for my church in 2024.
With a wide range of purples and blues, I tried to imagine unusual angles and close-up shots of the suffering Christ.

Layers of sheer polyester fabric form the shape and wings of the dove banner. Repeating the wing outline suggests a bit of movement as it is lit from the window.

I purchased a few rolls of plastic cloth and ran them through my band saw. They make up the criss-cross strips of color draped from the celling. The cross banners were created by some expert quilters from our church.
