John 4

Living Water (2004) (9 3/4" x 2" x 8 1/2")

mixed media construction in wood box

 This strange piece is hard to picture since it was constructed in an antique sewing machine parts box with figures formed from the parts themselves. It shows Jesus talking with the Samaritan woman at the well and trying to explain to her the concept of living water. As usual, even with his disciples, she takes his words literally instead of figuratively. Nevertheless, the words have their intended effect and result in others in the village coming to hear Jesus.
