BE/HOLD
When we make art, do we understand God as a creator better?
In conjunction with CREA's Be/Hold Festival, artists Shannon Kim and Hillary Eden spend a weekend in California ruminating on the weighted word “Behold” through artmaking, discussion, and the act of observing created objects. They ponder what it is to experience what cannot be seen with the human eye, yet can be felt deeply in the spirit, and ask “How can one behold an invisible God with a tangible object?”
