A Year of Exploring Ancient Carving Through Drawing

By Jonathan Pageau on January 3, 2018
A Year of Exploring Ancient Carving Through Drawing

For several years already, I had known in my heart and in my hands that I needed to spend more time drawing. Because the art of icon carving had become a lesser vehicle for the traditions of iconography, it seemed pressing for me to spend more time exploring the best examples of relief art and […]

Pentecost For The Zombie Apocalypse

Pentecost For The Zombie Apocalypse

(This talk on the meaning of the Zombie and on the place of monsters in the world was given at the OCA Diocese of the South Annual conference in Chattanooga, on July 27, 2017) We live in a time of monsters. I announce this to you but I think you already know that. We only need […]

Jordan Peterson, Religious Symbolism and Popular Culture

Jordan Peterson, Religious Symbolism and Popular Culture

For 5 years now I have been writing on many subjects for OAJ. Most of my attention has been to elucidate the patterns in iconography and liturgical arts and how these patterns relate to Scripture, to other traditions all the while acting as a map of how we should live in the world as Christians. […]

A Gospel Cover Crafted in the Tradition of a Medieval Treasure Binding

By Andrew Gould on May 26, 2017
A Gospel Cover Crafted in the Tradition of a Medieval Treasure Binding

I have always been fascinated by liturgical book bindings from the Middle Ages. Their perfect union of leather, wood and metal, as a supple and tactile work of functional art, is singularly satisfying. In contrast, there is something lacking in most contemporary gospel covers, which are normally made by applying decoration overtop the cardboard covers […]

By Jonathan Pageau on February 7, 2017
Encountering God - Climacus Conference 2017

An Innovative Carved Icon of Archangel Gabriel – A Collaborative Work

By Andrew Gould on January 26, 2017
An Innovative Carved Icon of Archangel Gabriel - A Collaborative Work

Occasionally Jonathan Pageau and I like to experiment with our work – to skirt the boundaries of historical precedent, to revive forgotten and archaic techniques, or to juxtapose ideas in new ways. This project, an elaborate mixed-media icon of Archangel Gabriel, is such an instance. It was not a commissioned project, but rather something we […]

Judge and Victim : The Two Images of Christ

By Jonathan Pageau on November 21, 2016
Judge and Victim : The Two Images of Christ

There are two basic images of Christ in the Church, each marking one of the two poles which hold the very limits of the cosmos.  The first image is that of the Pantocrator and its derivatives, essentially Christ shown in the guise of a glorious emperor, both the origin and the final judge of the […]

A Grave Cross for Father Matthew Baker

When Jonathan Pageau and I were asked to make a grave cross for the late Fr. Matthew Baker, we were humbled by the task. Fr. Matthew was a beloved young priest, a prominent Orthodox thinker, and father of six children. His tragic death in an automobile accident on March 1st, 2015, on his way home […]
