Meinrad Craighead: Praying with Images

The 'Praying with Images' video is beautiful and soul-filled. It describes the incredible journey of an artist into the realm of making spirit -- art -- through the commitment of work, reverence and ceremony. This is art that has evolved the artist rather than what we generally hear as the artist's work evolving.  Watch the trailer here:
