Developing Easter thoughts …Resurrection Fountain Garden

Three sculptural Resurrection Fountains can be made from hypertufa with accompanying circular basins. The water would not spray but bubble.  It can be pumped up the length of the sculptures and/or come from brightly colored hoses spiraling up the fountains.  The Easter garden flowers will integrate beautifully into this as well along with four wedge planters that can also contain Easter flowers. Again, this provides an great opportunity for group involvement.

This year we will process the banners which will be adorned with watery

overlays .  They will serve as a backdrop to the chancel and its sides.

Glitter?, you ask...of course!

Developing Easter thoughts … Congregation Participation

Inspired by our activity on the floor several years ago, we could develop an idea during the Lenten journey for the congregation to get in on the action that gradually blues as it nears the font or it may be a watery surprise at Easter and the bubbles that the people fill out during the Lenten season reappear as water bubbles along the gush of water from the font to the chancel or vice versa. 

Developing Easter thoughts …Easter- large white wall

After the desert sands of Lent, a roiling gush of water can conceptually refresh the Easter soul on the large white wall of the sanctuary. Made of sectioned foam and paper this should be light weight and easy to execute.  A good group project

After noodling and some refining...

The graphic water drop is now minimal in the basic design

but would be a key component in patterning and other secondary usage.

WALL INITIAL ROUGH CONCEPT

This is a start at the idea of water gushing across the wall using the insulation foam as the substrate  attached to the wall. The material can easily be engineered to allow the water to flow over the cement vertical in the middle.

We can kcik around how this will adjust for for Lent, Lent going into Easter and Easter itself.

The shooting jets from the Detroit airport are very cool but extremely distracting.  I am now more emergized over the concept of a sculptural fountain we'd construct of colorful hoses spraying water.  Could be cool, could be a real mess!  At least we have something to since our teeth into!
