In this conversation-style presentation artist Andrew Norquist & writer Ben Norquist will explore how Christian faith shapes the way we see and steward the natural world.

Andrew will discuss his new series of large-scale graphite drawings of ancient trees—works that invite viewers to encounter creation as both fragile and enduring, temporal and transcendent. Ben will provide a critical framework for reflecting on these artworks, raising questions about beauty, place, and the theological significance of the earth.

Together they will invite the audience into an immersive experience and engaging dialogue about how art can deepen our sense of connection to creation and awaken a richer imagination for land, life, and worship.

Andrew is a seasoned artist and curator at the Rhode Island School of Design. Benjamin is a theologian of place who writes and speaks about the interplay of the land, faith, and personhood.
