Book Description

November 2002
Objects of Grace: Conversations on Creativity and Faith is a collection ofconversations with some of today’s most intriguing artists—Sandra Bowden, Dan Callis, Mary McCleary, John Silvis, Edward Knippers, Erica Downer, Albert Pedulla, Tim Rollins and K.O.S., Joel Sheesley and Makoto Fujimura—focuses on the intersection of Christianity and creativity. In addition to the interviews and full color reproductions, this work also features a discussion with artist Makoto Fujimura, who lives two blocks from Ground Zero, commenting on how September 11th impacted him and the art community. Objects of Grace promises to enrich our understanding of the artistic process and works of art as they offer insights into the creator God.

If you are looking for more on creativity and faith, look into Square Halo Books’ other book on the arts, It Was Good: Making Art to the Glory of God. That book is a collection of thirteen essays—including articles by James Romaine, Makoto Fujimura, and Edward Knippers—covering a wide range of topics focused on the practice of making art from a Christian worldview.

4.0 out of 5 stars Honest View of Creativity & Faith in Art, September 1, 2003
This review is from: Objects of Grace: Conversations on Creativity & Faith (Paperback)
Objects of Grace reminds us all that art is an important part of the fabric of faith. The breadth of mediums and locales represented by the ten artists interviewed serves as an insightful glimpse at the range of concerns, processes, and mindsets of artists who are engaging not just the church, but the culture at large.

James Romaine spent a good deal of time becoming familiar with each artist's work prior to the interview, particularly evident in questions addressing the artist's influences, pursuits, reviews, and published writings. When paired with full-color reproductions, the artists' articulated answers created an approachable text, making Objects of Grace a rare entry point for the person unacquainted with art world rhetoric. The interviews also uncovered a wealth of reading sources relating to the intersection of creativity and faith.

Objects of Grace belongs in the library of artists and non-artists alike, regardless of faith.
