Art Enables Us to Find Ourselves.. Merton




“Twilight Silence”, acrylic/collage on canvas, 36″x36″, ©Angela Wales Rockett 2007
Art image page: redeemer-kenmore.org/.../

This painting is inspired by a quote from Thomas Merton, which I also used in the call to artists for this exhibit.

“(Since) nothing that can be seen can be God…then to find God we must pass beyond everything that can be seen and enter into darkness. Since nothing that can be heard is God, to find Him we must enter into silence.” —Thomas Merton



"Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time."

Thomas Merton, 'No Man Is an Island'
