Description
What happens when a painter, a poet, and a composer work together to discern the hidden image of God in all of us? How can those three art forms bring us more closely together and help us see one another face-to-face. Malcolm Guite, a poet, gives an inside account of his recent work with Bruce Herman, an artist, and JAC Redford, a composer. Collectively, their project is called Ordinary Saints and consists of a series of portraits with accompanying poems and music. Malcolm will share some of the new poems, music, and painting and reflect on how the process of collaboration between three Christian artists opened up their faith in a new way.
