Shekhinah
Posted on October 22nd, 2008 by Rose
This afternoon I worked on a mixed media piece which has been hanging around for awhile waiting for me to finish it. The inspiration for this work came to me while listening to a CD by Sophia. I was listening to her sing ‘Gaia Shekhinah Nama Om’ at the time.
I kept playing the CD over and over again and as the music flowed over and through me, I created this painting. The mask is made of paper and plaster and the bird feathers are covered with acrylic medium.
Shekhinah - Mixed Media - 20 X 24 inches on canvas
In Judaism, Chokhmah appears alongside the Shekhinah, ‘the glory of God’, a figure who plays a key role in the cosmology of the Kabbalists as an expression of the feminine aspect of God.
