Artist in Residence for Lent

 

 

Casey Landau is a frequent guest on Sundays at Mount Tabor. The rest of the week, Casey serves as Art Instructor and Campus Librarian at Broadview Entertainment Arts University. She moved to Salt Lake City from New York City with her partner, Jenelle Steele, in September 2011. Some of Casey's earliest artistic memories are of Sunday School arts and crafts at her ELCA church in rural Iowa. She studied Studio Arts at St. Olaf College in Minnesota.

Casey has created a piece for Mt. Tabor in observance of Lent. Look closely, and you will notice many shapes cut from the drawing. These shapes have not disappeared-- they will return to complete the piece after Lent. This time of year is a time for waiting, and knowing that spring will come again. Likewise, the branches on the tree in this drawing  will remain bare throughout Lent, and "bloom" on Easter Sunday.
