Due to a last minute and whirlwind trip to NC this weekend, we spent Friday night at my parents' house in Greenville, SC. It just so happened that my little sister had a singing engagement that night and we arrived in town just in time to catch the last half.
Not only was she the featured artist, she had some of her paintings on display with the other artists. The theme of the night was brokenness and the futility of self repair.
All of the artist, including Jamela, are members of what they've dubbed the Leviathan Project. After Jamela played, the artists each took some time to describe and give some background and/or Scriptural refrence to their work.
The Leviathan Project is still very much in its grassroots stages, but at the heart of the group is healing through art (art therapy) and the worship of Jesus Christ.
These kids have talent and stories to tell. They're going to do much more yet, and I'm glad to be along for the ride.
Jeoffry, owner of The Silver Chair, in Greer, SC ( where Jamela works) has opened the shop's garage as a free space for artist to get creative and occasionally invite their friends over to play.
It was dark and I had a time getting the camera adjusted- unfortunately these photos don't do justice to the real pieces of art that were displayed, but at least you can get a rough idea.
