Ginger Geyer: Ordinary Objects in Ordinary Time

by Henry Luce III Center for the Arts and Religion and Henry Luce III

What happens when pop culture, art history, and religion collide? If you are Ginger Geyer's alter ego, Chlora, the result will be playful and poignant, full of heartwarming adventure and insightful observations from the mind of a child who has an old soul. In the exhibition catalogue Ordinary Objects in Ordinary Time, you'll get a glimpse of how Chlora connects charming stories of everyday events to layers of meaning from scripture and the artworks of the great masters.Expect the unexpected to show you the sacred, through the theological allusions in Geyer's unique porcelain sculptures and enchanting narratives. Geyer's works have been exhibited internationally, and this collection will be on view at the Henry Luce III Center for the Arts and Religion at Wesley Theological Seminary in Washington, DC, in Fall 2015. An essay by Dr. Deborah Sokolove explains the relationship of Geyer's themes to the liturgical season called "Ordinary Time."Fully illustrated, with a curatorial statement by Kiki McGrath and excerpts from Ginger Geyer's "Chlora Stories," this is the first book of many to come, as Chlora's adventures take her - and you - far beyond the ordinary.
