wendy deschene Religion and art have long been intertwined. Art has been a tool to inspire spirituality and tell the stories and myths. The Vatican is one of the great homes of this and Christmas Eve one of the greatest narratives. Preaching art to a 30 foot decorative tree a non religious symbol of this narrative in the middle of the faithful plays with these connections. Is the world of conceptual art so much different than the world of narrative spiritual art?
