Book-Within-a-Book (Gospel of Luke)




Early Christians assigned certain symbols to the writers of the four Gospels: a man or angel for Matthew, an ox for Luke, a lion for Mark, and an eagle for John. You can see these symbols in famous illuminated manuscripts such as the Book of Kells and Lindisfarne Gospels. These pieces are from my "Symbolic Plastic Animal" phase.
