Tabernacle Series

Tabernacle Series
Gold, Blue, Purple and Scarlet; a sanctuary

1 Atonement

Hebrews 9:28 . .so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many people.

This series of abstracted images features close-ups and the bare elements of the symbols and rituals used for worship in the earthly tabernacle according to Exodus 31-35. It references the call to artisans and the community to make all the artistic designs for the sanctuary using what they had to offer: gold, silver, gems, yarn, fine linen, animal skins, acacia wood, spices and oil.

I used fluid acrylic paints on paper and dramatized the color for each part of worship. Keeping with the integrity of the tabernacle’s use of linen for curtains and priestly garments, I mounted the finished pieces on raw Belgian linen.

My process included thoughtful research and gave me a deeper understanding about this temporary dwelling. It foreshadows the Messiah who took the place of the altar, laver, lampstand, showbread and incense, and opened the curtain for our access into His presence and now dwells in the hearts of individuals. I hope you will investigate the myriad of images described in scripture for further insight and understanding about the significance of the Tabernacle.

All images are 12” x 12” acrylic on paper mounted on 20” x 20” board and raw Belgian linen
