Bold & Quiet: Life in Balance

Garrett Larson & Karin Soderholm

The story of Jesus' passion and resurrection features a rich array of personalities: questioning Pharisee, false friend, zealous followers, and the joyfully healed. In the center of this crowd stands a magnetic personality whose love for his flock surpasses anything anyone can imagine.

Our community mirrors this spectrum of characters. Different voices create tension yet broaden our perspective, weaving together the rich tapestry of human experience.

The artwork created by Karin Soderholm emerges from a subdued studio through careful, detailed embroidery, hours of experimental natural dyes, and meticulous stitching. Karin's work embodies quiet joy. In contrast, Garrett Larson's pieces offer fearless confrontation. He uses bold shapes and vivid imagery, challenging viewers to engage directly with profound spiritual questions.

How do you see yourself in this journey? Which pieces draw you in and speak to your soul? Is it the bright contrasts demanding attention and allegiance, or the still small voice encouraging a simple path? Both voices are necessary; both deserve to be heard. Art gives us all a way to contemplate our life in Christ in unexpected and transformative ways.
