This episode features a conversation we originally hosted on Friday, January 29th with artist and author Makoto Fujimura on his recent book Art + Faith: A Theology of Making. Mako says, “I now consider what I do in the studio to be theological work as much as aesthetic work. I experience God, my Maker, in the studio. I am immersed in the art of creating, and I have come to understand this dimension of life as the most profound way of grasping human experience and the nature of our existence in the world. I call it the “Theology of Making.”
We hope you enjoy this conversation exploring the theological work of creating.
