Chiesa di Dio Padre Misericordioso / Church of God the Merciful Father, Rome, Italy [built 2000]
Drawer collage by PJ Cardinale
Striving to capture the emotion and history of this church designed by Richard Meier, this piece uses the extraordinary, overlapping façade, evoking the cosmic geometry of the Renaissance. Upon a closer look, soft mixtures of color and texture give the work a light and delicate appearance, with 22K gold leaf to emphasize selected details. This eye-catching sculpture sits attached to a swivel platform, allowing viewing from every angle. All expertly and exquisitely honoring scale and proportion of the exterior and interior.
Simple yet profound, the piece is finished with a drawer in the base, containing a collage by Cardinale's wife, PJ.
