St. Nicholas Academy Receives Gift of Artwork
(Louisville, KY) St. Nicholas Academy was the recipient of a mosaic created by Angel Rabeneck, glass artist, and women at the Kentucky Correctional Institution for Women. St. Nicholas was chosen as a place that gives children a brighter future and the hope is that some will partake in the gift given out of joy. The mosaic is being displayed in the Gillan building foyer at the South Campus at 5501 New Cut Road.
The artwork, entitled “Faith,” is a mosaic that was created to utilize the imagination and become more aware of Scripture. Favorite scriptural passages were written on the base of the mosaic as a reminder of who God is and how God’s words can be transforming. Three separate designs were created on what it means to have faith, hope and love — as written in 1 Corinthians 13. The women decided to share two of the mosaic designs with the community — “Faith” and “Love.” The “Hope” mosaic piece was kept at the prison’s chapel as a symbol of freedom.
Each woman working on the mosaics created a unique fused glass piece that framed in these three special words, reminding them how God brings persons out of the dark into the light (John 3:16-21). This was also reflected in the design of a single star on the sun of the “Faith” mosaic piece as believers are called by name into the light. Faith’s spiritual journey represented the transformation of a caterpillar into a butterfly to them, as well as droplets of water flowing into a stream, a stream of “living water.” (John 7:38)
