This Sacred Ground: Stories from Soil and Scripture with Artist Andrew Norquist and Author Benjamin Norquist, PhD

In this conversation-style presentation, artist Andrew Gunnar Norquist and author Dr. Benjamin Norquist (twin brothers) explore how faith shapes the way we see and steward the natural world. Andrew will display and discuss his new series of large-scale graphite drawings of ancient trees—works that invite viewers to encounter creation as both fragile and enduring, temporal and transcendent. Drawing on themes from his forthcoming book on the sacredness of land, Dr. Ben Norquist will provide a critical framework for reflecting on these artworks, raising questions about beauty, place, and the theological significance of the earth. Together they will invite the audience into a dialogue about how art can deepen our sense of connection to creation and awaken a richer Christian imagination for land, life, and worship.
