The Mercy Seat II

This is one of a series of drawings inspired by the Mercy Seat, a small feature on the Arc of the Covenant that the Old Testament designated as a place of exquisite holiness where mankind could engage with Yahweh.  In contrast, I found joy and wonder in the New Testament’s promise of grace and a relationship with God in all things and all places for all who believe.  The sketches of feathers represent wings that give us access to the Divine.
