Original mixed media paintings on canvas, 2026.
Three 8”x8” framed canvases that hold a single poem between them - each stanza on a different canvas, fragments of paper and ink pressed into layered acrylic, surrounded by real, dried, and pressed flowers integrated into the poetry of the piece.
The triptych is based on the Revised Common Lectionary readings from Easter 3, Year A, which includes the journey on the road to Emmaus.
The embedded poem, titled, What Age Begins, asks: what are we entering into now, post-resurrection?
What age begins when
His Body, Bread, broken,
opens eyes to behold ourselves
born anew with hearts aflame?
Revealed at the end of the ages,
with the Cup of Salvation
and burning hearts freshly born,
we begin as strangers
beholding who we are
then vanishing from sight,
we become who we receive,
His Body, Bread, broken.
In keeping with the Layered Magic concept, these paintings have been built up through layers of acrylic, ink, pressed botanicals, and handwritten text fragments.
Three 8×8 inch framed canvases, sold as a set
Mixed media: acrylic, ink, flowers, and handwritten poem fragments written by Alissa
Framed and ready to hang, signed & dated on the back
$750 for the complete triptych.
Designed to be hung together, they can be hung vertically as shown, or horizontally, from left to right. Or you can hang each individual piece in a different location, each one there to remind you of how breaking bread with strangers transforms us into who we really are: friends, a new humanity.
Available only in the Layered Magic Shop. One of one - once it’s gone, it’s gone.
