Today’s video is quite unusual. Watch an artist who uses a hammer on glass to create portraits. You have to see it to believe it.
I am constantly amazed by the outrageous creativity of the human mind. Whether one will acknowledge it or not, we are made in the image of God. And, therefore, to quote Tolkien, we can become sub-creators in our art. To quote David Downing, from his excellent article, “Sub-creation or Smuggled Theology“:
Tolkien could view sub-creation as a form of worship, a way for creatures to express the divine image in them by becoming creators.
Food for thought.
