'Ruth' by Brian Kershisnik

Artwork of the Week: October 28

09014_Ruth_full.jpeg

Kershisnik’s portrayal of Ruth’s urgent gleaning is more athletic than virtually any portrayal of this powerful matriarch. Her wide stride suggests strength that knows no bounds. She is the mother of a great nation and an ancestor of Christ. Kershisinik contrasts the dry field with Ruth’s pattern of vibrant green foliage on her gown. She bows low in humility before God, with gratitude for a future that has been revealed to her.
