Painted quilt patterns with names like “All Hands Around,” “Worlds Without End,” “Straight Furrough,” “Jacob’s Ladder,” and “Winding Ways” fit within this altarpiece. The patterns represent the ways individuals reach—for help, for purpose, and for repair. Each reaching panel fits within the larger altarpiece; the reaching supplicants become part of God’s reaching, symbolized by the open arms of the altarpiece that extend outward toward the viewer.
“Through seeking revelation, trying our best, making missteps, and trying again . . . , we become part of His outstretched, healing hands.”
—Paige Crosland Anderson
