Parable of the Blind (1998) - 25" x 13" x 12" x 12lbs
 |
Inspired by the 16th Century painting
"Parable of the Blind" by the Dutch artist Bruegal, this work is carved from a
fragrant Cedar (Cedrela Fissilus) obtained from a sustainable source. The work illustrates the Biblical parable from St Matthew: "If the blind lead the blind then both shall fall in the ditch". The work opens to reveal the deeper meaning that inner blindness is a greater defect than blindness of the eyes. (GSA 98 Exhibition) © SCOTCH |
