Teach Us to Pray

Reimagining the well-known Lord's Prayer that Jesus outlines in the Bible in Matthew chapter 6, verses 5-15, "Teach Us to Pray" is a modern, contemporary expression of the inner traffic and friction experienced in the activity of prayer between what Jesus teaches that prayer is and what it should not be.
Inspired by the text in Matthew 6 and the poem "Prayer I" by George Herbert, the artwork guides the viewer through the struggle and wonder of prayer; not just as it is understood theologically and philosophically, but also poetically as it is experienced.
