Margaret Adams Parker

Magnificat

Etching

Artist Statement: Benedictus, Magnificat, and Nunc dimittis are three etchings for a series titled Canticles (the title means "little songs" in Latin) that use papers and inks of different colors to embody the movement from morning to evening. The individual titles are drawn from devotional hymns of the Daily Office, a tradition stretching back to medieval Christian monasticism.

Bio: Margaret Adams Parker is a liturgical artist with sculpture at Virginia Theological Seminary, the Cathedral College - Washington National Cathedral, and Duke Divinity School; painted Stations of the Cross at the Duke University Chapel; and etched glass panels at St Paul’s Church, Rock Creek Parish, Washington, DC, and St. Agnes Catholic Church, Shepherdstown, WV.

A Senior Lecturer at Virginia Theological Seminary, Parker is co-author, with Katherine Sonderegger, of Praying the Stations of the Cross, Finding Hope in a Weary Land (Eerdmans, 2019) and, with Ellen F. Davis, of Who are you, my daughter? Reading Ruth through Image and Text (Westminster John Knox, 2003.) Her work is in the collection of the Library of Congress and has been published by Christian Century, Tikkun, Augsburg Fortress Press, and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.
