For Advent, 2026, I worked with Kay Wolff and many wonderful people at First Presbyterian Church of Berkeley to create a liturgical installation.
The theme was Christ's family tree, and we invited congregants to create book boxes that represented their stories as part of the vast family tree we are a part of.
We involved children and adults in the installation, using collage, assemblage, and paint in craft faux books to tell about their journeys. Then we suspended them from manzanita branches. We added old hardcover books, painted with the names of Christ's ancestors, and suspended them with fishing line so it looked like they were flying.
The experience deepened my love of this community during these troubling times.
