ARTIST STATEMENT
Jane Ellefson
Teach Us to Number Our Days
2015
Oil on panel
This is a painting about divine design, wisdom, and humility. It depicts my father’s transition into eternity and is based on Psalm 90:12, “Lord, teach us to number our days aright so that we may gain a heart of wisdom,” and Proverbs 11:2, “With humility comes wisdom.”
God’s wisdom is evident throughout all creation and is woven into the intricacies of our lives – even to the moment of our death. The superimposed grid and spiral reference the mathematical Golden Mean (aka Divine Proportion), which is echoed in the spiral of the shell. This work references Lamentation of the Dead Christ by Mantegna.
