“An account of the genealogy of Jesus the Messiah, the son of David, the son of Abraham.” Matthew 1:1
Among the names, four women. Tamar, Bathsheba, Rahab, and Ruth.
In this digital collage, I’ve depicted them growing from and through the blood and the root of Jesse. They are the root of Jesse and they could not be without themselves growing from that root. The red and the blue are traditional colors for salvation, red for blood, blue for the waters of baptism. They’re disjointed and awkward, intentionally collaged. We’re in collage with them. The fruit and the flowers point us to the beauty that sanctification grows. Lines of gold, referencing the Japanese art of kintsugi, in which broken things are repaired with gold, are crossed with with lines of roots reminding us that these women are Jesus’s heritage and ours. This is an image of incarnation and resurrection.
