DDAVID J. HETLAND * LITURGICAL & PUBLIC ART

"Ezekiel 47" inspired this chancel mosaic for Christ Lutheran Church in San Diego (Pacific Beach), California. Using Mexican smalti, the five dimensional panels depict a wooded setting against which the radiant cross is set. From it flows living water, the source of life, fashioned from clear-glass bevels in an iron framework. After the water gently meanders onto the mosaic panel, under the altar and down the center aisle (where the pews are offset along the stream's path), it washes through the sanctuary doors and out into the street to welcome worshippers and passersby alike. Leaded glass panels (not shown) reinforce this theme and separate the sanctuary from the narthex (gathering) space. (photo by Pablo Mason)
