ReNew: The Quilts
Showing at BNY Mellon Contemporary Craft Satellite Gallery Gabriel is the pure spirit identified with the divine attribute of Yesod- the longing to connect. The mantle, like a quilt, serves the practical function of keeping someone warm protecting them from the elements. In this case, it also serves as a symbolic divine representation. The archangel, Rasiel, presidesContinue reading “ReNew: The Quilts”
