Paradise
Lost
Heather Goldmind
Canada
Tilted gingerbread
houses, baroque apparels, lustrous colors, faces with big eyes that both laugh
and cry, not to forget majestic animals which speak with human tongues: such are
some of the ingredients of a child’s nativity set imagined by adults. Heather
Goldminc’s precious ceramic nativity reflects some of the typical features of
contemporary Christmas tradition. It suggests an atmosphere of faraway innocence
and childlikeness, of humor and sadness, of paradise lost. There also remains
the silent hope of paradise retrieved. |
